    I started getting a lot of comments about bipolar disorder when I worked a job where I basically jogged for ten hours.

    Maybe I am possibly undiagnosed, but also runners high is no fucking joke

      I used to run cross country in primary, middle and high school. I only felt the runners high once, in a competition where I went from middling performance to 9th in the province in the most competitive field of my time. Weirdest experience ever. Halfway through the race, I started to feel what could only be described as an orgasm , in my right thumb. I was deeply confused as to what was going on. Then the endorphines spread everywhere and I felt no pain or tiredness. I felt great everywhere. I just kept passing people effortlessly. I had never heard of the runners high and only learned of it later.

      At the end of the race I could have kept going, who knows for how long.

        That’s pretty intense. Can’t say it ever felt orgasmic for me but I was probably not running at the same intensity. But that unending vigor feeling is real, like once you’re peaking it’s crazy the limits you can push your body to.

        I miss doing that. Have you ever used MDMA? The lasting “glow” is pretty similar for some people
