Feels terrific. Because of El Niño the water is hot!
I swam about an hour. My favorite. 2nd favorite water skiing. 3rd Jazzercise. 4th Yoga. Then walking. How about you? Does exercise help you deal with the symptoms?

I would be a mess without exercise. Sometimes it's the only relief I get in a day. On the flip side sometimes it fuels my mania because it makes me feel even more invoncible

You swam for an hour in the ocean?! Wow! I'm so scared of sea life I rarely go passed my knees at the beach. And I live in southern California where out-of-staters always ask, "do you surf?" and I'm all like, "do you know what lives in there?!" ... anyways, I digress.
When I stopped the hardcore boozing I threw myself into exercise. But when I started on meds, they zonked me out so much I quit. But, as of a week or two ago I'm back in the gym. I must say, I've really missed how good it feels to exercise -- even as hard as it is on me sometimes.

Hi C Morales. I live in CA too. I wear swim shoes and swim goggles.
I know the feeling of being tired due to the meds. I'm even tired when I wake up after 10 hours of sleep. The bay where I swim has been overfished. There's not much sea life. Years ago I could swim with schools of little yellow fish with black stripes. To furious fever-yes. It makes me a little manic. Very talkative mainly for about an hour.

I miss the ocean so much! I used to go somewhat frequently, where I used to live. But now I live in NYC and I'd honestly rather not deal with a massively crowded beach.

When my anxiety is out of control the only thing that helps is walking. Some days it's hours! I'm not kidding. I can't sit still and I'm a fat cow!!!

I live 500m (1500ft) from the ocean and it is so healing. I swim often in the warmer months and less frequently in winter (Mediterranean climate here). I find the exercise and just being in or near the ocean to be very therapeutic. In fact it has been a major help to manage my bipolar and PTSD.
