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?

    Kind of, but it’s not a miracle cure or escape. I tried exercising while depressed and I tried exercising after I learned how to manage depression. It never cured my depression but it is part of managing it. It’s part of a healthy life style, which is part of taking care of myself, which is part of not feeling like I hate myself and my life.

    I keep going to the gym because I enjoy it and it’s an excellent way for me to vent emotions, no matter what my mood is.
