Just a simple question to those of you suffering from depression, anxiety or are just going through a tough time. Now or sometime in the past.
Have you tried exercising, and did it help? What kind, and how did it make you feel?

I wasn’t depressed to begin with but weightlifting helped me feel better about myself and quieting those voices that kept telling me that i was to lazy & fat. A year ago i started running which is much harder starting from zero but the mental effect of an extended run or the rewarding feeling of completing your first 10k is incredible.
Also dont wait for motivation, just start now and it will come later.
I started running using the Couch to 5k app from the NHS, it made it so easy ane encouraging to start running.
I did my first 10k in Jan and did my longest run (11k) yesterday, and like you say, the feeling is incredible, it’s like a high year that day.
