Stress, Depression, and Exercise

Thank you for coming back to visit, Have you signed up for my newsletter to receive business and blogging tips? the sign up box is on the right.

As I have mentioned before that I am Bi-polar more on the depressed side then manic. I went to the Dr yesterday for a check up and all was the same as it has been she did give me something to help me sleep since I haven’t been sleeping. I haven’t been sleeping because of stress from my son. Something that is not much discussed he is also bi-polar and it seems that he has been stuck in a manic/rage state the last few months. We was evaluated and found that he possibly has aspergers syndrome we are looking more in to that with his Dr. So yea things have been stressful here with him and the other kiddos driving me crazy but it will be ok.

Her prescription was get more sleep and exercise. Both something I knew I had to do to both help me mentally but also help me physically, I am starting to get fluffy again. For me depression turns in to eating snacks usually salty and/or chocolaty snacks at that, I know not a good thing.  I guess it is a step knowing this problem I have. Just taking all of this one day at a time.

So I broke out the Wii Fit again to start there.  I am taking it slowly and not overly pushing myself. Did a work out today and felt better afterward, just got to keep it up. Talked to Alin’s girlfriend and she said that if I want to we can be workout buddies, Something I am going to think about doing. I think it will help.

Ned and I also discussed getting a bike to help with the exercise but also with getting out of the house and getting fresh air. Because seriously I will sit in the house for days if not weeks if he don’t force me to go out. So this can help at least get me outside. I am glad he is here on my side supporting me.

Since Jeff has been in this mood, that he has been in, it has been even harder for me to do anything for myself so yesterday I went and got my hair cut I like it so far its nice and short yet long enough to still pull back. It felt good to go out and do something for myself. I am going to work on myself more especially now that the kids are all in school. I am going to exercise, and try to get out of the house more.

Thanks for Stopping By
