Hi everyone,

I just wanted to share my story regarding physical shape/strength when in different episodes. About 6 months ago I was hypomanic. Lots of energy, motivation and all of the euphoric symptoms that accompanies it. I was working out 7 days a week. I was so happy to go to the gym, it gave me more energy and made me feel great about myself. I was probably in the best shape of my adult life. Fast forward to the present, I am currently overweight, in a deep depressive episode and cannot for the life of me find the energy to even take a walk. Never mind go out for runs for a few miles like I was able to a few months ago. Does anyone else out there experience this? It’s a terrible feeling, and it doesn’t seem to end until it does. I wish I could find some stability. Meds haven’t done much for me in the past.

Thank you for listening. Thoughts and insights greatly appreciated. 

God bless you all.
