AMEN!!! and AMEN!!!
I had a great exercise routine before I had another encounter with a Major Depressive Episode at the beginning of the year. When I fell into the vast valley I fell off of my routine. Oh I lost weight alright... Because I wasn't eating.. I was not hungry, horney, or willing to do anything for myself...
Now that I am stabilizing on my meds I've joined a gym in my new locale and I've been good about going. I feel much better. It took meds to give me the will to take care of myself again...
> Pity those of us who were exercising regularly prior to depression. I was exercising an hour a day five times a week. When I heard that it helped treat depression I thought, well screw it, what do I have to do now, do two hours a day?(!!) Good Grief!
