Hi BethRags, I don't know how I'd measure that to give an answer. In a sense, the things I do to take care of my mental health, I use energy, but also get energy back - like in yoga, or walking or...knitting, or eating foods that are healthy and give me energy or sometimes socializing, depending.

Honestly, I'd say my whole life revolves around my biological makeup, including my mental health issues / disorders. I don't see it as a bad thing, for myself.

Is there a reason you're asking?
