> What amazes me now is how many people here make sure they do some sort of exercise daily or most days. I can't seem to do it now, and maybe this is a sign of how depressed I am. I can't even get myself to jump on the treadmill. Just can't make myself do it; takes all my strength and stamina just to drag myself to work every day.
For 10 years I exercised intensely at least five days a week. It never had an impact on my depression. It occupied me for an hour or so, keeping my mind off feeling bad. But if I was depressed when I started my routine, I was depressed when I finished it. I certainly didn't get a high (and I exercised intensely enough that my regular pulse rate was down to 60). I never even got a boost.
