off my meds

[Dani.o.dani 67]

I have Bipolar disorder and I'm currently off both of my antidepressants. The last six months have been really good, I changed jobs and have been 12 step recovery groups for my addiction. My addiction was my main way to self-medicate my disorder. Now that I'm sober I have a real concern about exercise triggering mania.

I don't exercise now because times in my life where I did exercise I would also become manic, and then I would exercise more, hours a day, because I couldn't stop. Does anyone have any experience with mania and exercise, or with exercise bulimia and

[Dani.o.dani 67]

(Ugh silly send button, anyway)... How has being sleeved impacted Bipolar disorder? Has anyone struggled with exercise bulimia pre/post op? What are your experiences?

Thank you.

The only way bi-polar has affected me is for the first 4 weeks, I threw up every time I took my meds. I'm 6 weeks out and just now not throwing up.
