How many of y'all exercise to take feelings away? Like at times it helps at times it does not any other suggestions?
Really thats what i try not to because i want a reason to be busy my brain is like a electrical machine with no batteries i try to rest i cant over-thinker anxiety depression agh suicidal thoughts is like not ok when i want peacei sometimes night run or do simple calisthenics but most of the days my fucked up state of mind keeps me in bed all day.
Yes it does i started. Going fishing is like connecting to the sounds and being calmi'm not a particularly athletic person, but i like taking walks in nature. it helps to take my mind off of things, and gives me somewhere to put all my extra energy.
But thats a good thing you should start it helps physically maybe not mentally all the time but it does help in a way to feel good at certain ponitI used to be really into weight lifting. I'd do it every day, eat tons of protien powder and other protien heavy foods, make sure I got enough sleep etc.
That was before the quarantine and my mental health has plummeted since. Now I'll do it 1 day a week at best. It doesn't help my mindstate at all and probably makes it worse tbh but it temporarily makes me feel less awful about my body so i guess that's the only benefit for me.
just for curiosity why isn't it mentality healthy for you ? and well i do inside w/o shame of myselfI do exercise at home. I wish I could go outside but I'd be forced to see couples and that's not good for my mental health. Overall I'd say it's extremely helpful, specially resistance training.
I totally understand that and i know walking and mental distractions we see makes life different for a moment there is plces where im heading towards and kills my vibe my mentality goes from 100 -0I did the gym thing for two years. It was fine then. Moved and never started back up. I wasn't depressed then.
Now, I just force myself out for a gentle walk. It helps that I have a little dog that loves the walk so I do it for both of us. Some days it is really hard to psych myself up for it, some days I don't.
I know that getting out into the woods is the best for us and I am fortunate that I have access to that, a remote private area. Right now, the fall colors are absolutely gorgeous. Don't know if it is the exercise that helps or just the mental distraction of it all. Sometimes, when we walk back in the door, the depressed sadness seems to be waiting for me. There is a respite for a while, though, and I will take it if I can.
