how can you tell when you're FEELING NORMAL

Posted by Janice on June 18, 2000, at 18:17:01

Hello everyone,
Lately, I'm beginning to suspect I may not know exactly what feeling normal is like. I've been a rapid cycler since I was 19 and I have always been high or low--never medium. I'm sure I've had medium moments in those moments from switching from high to low.
Recently, I was explaining to my new and very nice pdoc what my normal was like, he seemed to think it was still hypomanic. For example, when I feel good and have the time, there would is no better way for me to spend my time than to exercise for 3 hours a day. I do this simply because it feels good. There could be other factors involved other than just mood that could be determining my love of exercise. Although I don't believe it plays a part (but I do feel fat), In the past I've had eating disorders. I have ADHD (the hyper kind), and LOVE movement -- I was both a dancer and rode horses competitively up until my 24th year of life.
But I'm changing the subject, what I want to know is how do you know when your mood is normal?
What indicators will let you know your mood is normal?
Thank you in advance for all your wonderful wisdom, Janice
