Not doing things like walking or other things that have been proven good for mental health when you have depression is akin to not getting treatment for cancer. Some people still die from cancer while on treatments, but a lot more of them survive than the ones that don’t attempt treatment.
Yes but you’re missing the fact that some people with sever depression just can’t make their bodies go for a walk the same way someone with a severe cancer diagnosis might not be able to just make their body go for a walk.
Depression fucks with your brain such that you dont think it makes sense to do something that is good for you, if it was that simple nobody would ever hurt themselves, but they have a disease that messes with their brains’ ability to think clearly.
I get what you guys are saying, but at some point you got to do something. If depression makes you just sit around staring at a wall for 2 years, I get it. Explanation.
If you do it for 10 years however, you’re really just saying “I can’t. I’m depressed.” Excuse.

If your goal is 4 walks a week and it takes 6 months to consistently get 1 walk a week in, thats still progress.
