Hi Kristen,
Good job. Exercise is VERY important for BP II patients. Check out this link:

> What is anyone's opinion on the feel good chemicals that are produced when we exercise????
The follow link provides interesting information regarding exercise induced positive changes in brain chemistry. It does not specifically address the endorphin issue that I think you are referring to, but it is very informative. I find it interesting that exercise plays such a central role in maintaining good mental health.
