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?

    Here’s my experience. Working out as in strength training I did for 9 months and, no, I did get more fit and that is satisfactory but leaves me just super tired.

    Long distance running and cycling I’ve done on and off throughout the years give me a runner’s high and though tired I feel really good.

      I’m the opposite.

      Fuck cardio, give me an olympic barbell and lets work on chucking some heavy shit around. Managed a 210lb clean and jerk last week.
