[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 97, member: 1963"] Part of my treatment plan we will start work on Tomorrow with my therapist includes a recommendation from my psychiatrist that instead of non-scheduled bouts of activity when I'm 'up' I start a scheduled plan of walking so many minutes per day (30) in my case in addition to walking my dog-e.g. walking for me without hte distraction of the dog. He believes very strongly that regular large muscle exercise is an important part of tx for bipolar though not a substitute for medications. He also hopes that with my arhtritis this will stop the bouts of overexercising and inflaming my joints. It seems to me that since bipolar is sort of a lifestyle disease that one has to manage the entire lifestyle--throwing medications at it is to enable one to do the things one must do in order to otherwise be healthy.
