Does anyone feel that exercise kind of revs you up. Not in the good way, necessarily.
Yesterday I was feeling, flat, even a little low. Then I exercised for 45 mins and felt a bit more hypo, then had an appt, then had dinner with friend. By that time I was feeling very hypo. I almost feel I am rapid cycling. I don't know. You always hear that exercise gives you energy. |

I had this experience a few years back before I started my mood stabilzer. I had a really bad episode that lasted about a month before i fell into a really depressive episode. So I can relate to you.

I don't think so. Exercise makes feel better, gives me more energy and drive. I feel more alive. I myself wouldn't call it hypo, but more like being alive.

I find that when I'm already a little hypo, exercise kicks me into a higher gear. That isn't always a good thing.

Yep. I once pressure-washed the house for four hours straight. Then I went and transplanted six hydrangea bushes in my garden. I was still rarin' to go at 2 AM after doing all that.

These may be good articles to read.
Bphope.com Is exercise a mood lifter or a mania trigger? Quora.com. In bipolar disorder, is going to the gym for a workout a trigger for hypomania? There are several articles on experiences people have on exersice and its relation to hypomania. |

If I'm already hypo or manic, exercise definitely feeds the mania. At my most manic, I would go out for a 30 mile bike ride at midnight. I though I was burning off nervous energy, but it did the opposite.

Thanks so much for this info. I had a theory it was doing that. It isn't just that i have more energy, it is that I am making myself a bit hypo. Like it is feeding itself.
It is different then being manic and doing a million things. It is like the exercise is causing me to have more energy. |

I generally try to exercise daily to get the blood and adrenaln running helps me think clearly. Maybe it about the same but in a different context for you
