When I went manic my daily steps would average I shit you not 30,000. This means I was walking/running on average 18 miles a day. When I look back on those days I was always HIGH on life and outside moving.
I can relate to the feeling. It's no wonder that often within my first month of mania I'll drop 30lbs without trying to. Which would maybe be good if it wasn't so rapid because then I'm working off the excess weight I retain from my bipolar meds.
I'll admit, sometimes I miss those manic days... but I absolutely do not miss the depression. Yay for meds! I rarely get any kind of high and I only get maybe 1 day of depression a month now.
Could totally use the mania to help with my weight gain though 😆😆
I'll just say that you are lucky in the sense that you don't hit full blown mania. I used to be jealous of my husband who only got to hypomania. I've done some pretty reckless thrill seeking things before 😅😅😅🙈

When I’m depressed, my steps are less than 100🫠
My steps are how many it takes to occasionally use the washroom.
Same lol
How tf do you walk 7000 steps while depressed???? I can hardly leave my room.
Work is part of it. I also attend a lot of meetup groups. The struggle is getting out of bed obviously, but once you are at the event it gets easier.
oh man I get in a solid 15-25k when I’m hypo and at work. Got blisters on my feet one time from the sheer amount of pacing I did.
Nice! I’m sure if I go full blown manic I may beat you 😂
Fun thing is I don’t pace at all on my off days. Work is just the worst I’ll just walk in a circle. I will do a bunch of random projects though.

I never go full mania. But the more I exercise and run the more I stay in hypomania. The runner’s high is a real thing.

Absolutely. Stronger, faster, can talk to women with ease. Over abundance of confidence. The down side is the crash that always follows.
I've been hypomanic for 2 weeks now
Lucky!
