Does it help during the down episodes? Or have no effect?

If I am manic, I feel like I have no time for exercise. I feel like I need to be doing more important things. But if I do exercise when I am manic, I could continue forever.
When I am depressed, exercise does absolutely nothing for me. It does not pick me up, it does not make me feel better, nothing. And when I am trying to exercise, all I think about is being in my bed.
When my mood is stable, I don't think exercise has much of an effect either. It does not make me feel any better. In fact, the only reason I do exercise it to keep the weight off from all the meds I have to take.
To summarize: Exercise does nothing for me.

If I'm down and I find the energy to go lift weights, I always end up feeling very agressive and want to destroy everying I see.
I have to find a balance when exercsing, or I get too much testosterone pumping through the bloodstream :-s

During down times it is very difficult to get up to do anything. I have a very pushy daughter and she makes me walk at least one block and to do one house chore. After that my mood goes up a little. It's really hard but keep trying.

Yes exercising can help, not to mention exercising helps release certain hormones that may make you feel better.

it releases endorphins which can leave you on a happy high. even a brisk walk esp in winter can leave you with a nice rush or maybe just a slightly more serene feeling/ it can't hurt right?

this is something you should talk to your doctor about.
