Hypo-Mania

5-6 Over the last few days I have been trying to figure out when the last time that I experienced an hypo-mania. I know that 5 wks ago was my last bout with depression. I have been praying hard for it to be removed or lessened & I did receive a blessing from my bishop. I cannot forget the many family members that also fasted for me @ the beginning of April as well. It is probably a combination of both.
This then is a THANK YOU to all those who have kept my family and I in your prayers.
The problem with mania is that what goes UP must come DOWN & although I love the ups I truly want to rid myself of the downs. One cannot exist without the other so I regretfully but willingly want to do everything in my power to remove the ups. I regretfully haven't been very strict on my diet & non existent with my exercise except for weekly tennis lessons with Zack & Zoey.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU ! Chao for now!

My best advice would be to get back to your exercise program. I didn't realize how much it mattered until I stopped. But now, I walk every day and I can't tell you how well I feel. The key for me, is that I need to keep the program going when I'm fine, because I can't possibly start it during a depressive episode.

And maybe, for an incentive, you could walk with a different one of your kids (and KJ) each day. My husband helped me begin this on a regular basis, and now my dog Spike is my walking companion.

Thank you Susan, your advice is well taken and I am ready to get my body out of the depressive fog that encompasses me.
