So normally I look at my sleep, which has been okay. I've been going to bed around 8pm and waking up around 2am and waking up every other hour-ish but going back to bed within 15 minutes of waking up (sometimes with a PRN sometimes without).

But my activity has greatly increased. I've been either doing hour long HIIT sessions or going on 7-10 mile runs or hiking every day non-stop. I'm forcing myself to have a rest day today because I have shin splints and a fked up knee, but I feel like that's going to be difficult. This could be part of my eating disorder though, which has been doing better. I went a week without b/p'ing and have only had six episodes in the past week and a half.

Today I woke up at 2am and baked cookies. Then made hard boiled eggs. Usually for breakfast I just have some instant oatmeal and a yogurt (and a protein bar or shake after my workout).

Also, when I wake up at 2am I'm pissed it's still dark out because that means I have to wait three hours before I can go for a run "for safety" because my treatment team gets pissed when they hear I go for runs in the dark.

I feel jacked, but maybe it's just because I've been doing so well. No voices, no paranoia, no delusions.

It is hard to say because of comorbid eating disorder, as you suggested. Baking cookies at 2AM makes me lean towards yes, brewing hypomania.

This is unrelated, but have you tried moving your schedule to going to bed later, getting up later?

You need to give yourself rest to recover. If you further damage your shin splints and your knee, you may find yourself unable to run at all. Do you have a program of stretching and strength training to recover from your injuries? Do you have a physical therapist?

I have a lot of anxiety issues with sleep since I OD'd on opiates (a sort of post traumatic stress I guess) so I try to go to bed as early as possible to not extend the amount of time I'm not really doing anything/just get falling asleep over with. I find this prevents binge/purge episodes too since I'm more likely to b/p at 9pm than 3am.

I'm forcing myself to take a rest this weekend, as much as possible (I'm still walking about, but keeping it under 10,000 steps). I don't have a PT, but I do the stretches/strength training I did when I ran competitively with a trainer plus some yoga. I just did too much too fast.

I bought wayyy too much yogurt lol.

I'm finding impulsive shopping sprees hard to avoid. I keep adding things to my Amazon cart and actively looking up at my STOP sheet from DBT.

You have a hard life, oh my, and with OD'ing.

Yogurt keeps for a long time. It won't go to waste. But if you find shopping sprees attractive, this is another argument in favor of yes, you have brewing hypomania now.
