I have noticed a definate crash related to exercise. It is directly related to the intensity of the workout, and starts the day after the exercise and lasts 2-3 days. One time, I was severly suicidal and it was very bad. I notice the longer I go without exercise the happier I become....HOWEVER, I'm training for a marathon....so I need to exercise 6 days a week -- vigeriously! Plus, I'm trying to tone my body. If I want to function correctly, I shouldn't exercise -- but if I want to be healthy and accomplish my goals I must exercise.
I'm definately talking to my doctor about this. He put me on depakote, which helps with the dramatic depressive states following exercise, but doesn't eliminate them! :P
