This nurse asked me if it wasn't hypomania? Was I sure it wasn't?


So what if it is? There is controversy over whether or not it is even a problem.

Some, such as Johns Hopkins psychologist John Gartner, argue that hypomania is better understood as a stable non-pathological temperament rather than an episode of mental illness[3] The DSM however clearly defines hypomania as an aberrant state, not a stable trait.

The DSM can be full of it sometimes, e.g.: An earlier version of the DSM clearly defined homosexuality as an aberrant state.
We know better nowadays.

Exercise is very good for you and it obviously makes you feel better.

Our bodies were meant to move. A lot. Forcing ourselves to sit still too much of the time effs us up in a whole lot of ways.


I am not a doctor. I am speaking from personal experience here.

I'm going for a nice long swim now (a couple of miles or so).
