In reply to Exercise caused depression?, posted by Johann on June 8, 2007, at 1:25:24

Johann,

My guess is that the exercise hasn't caused your depression but that the depression/anxiety is still there but that is just going by my own experiences in the past.

Years and years ago before I ever started taking antidepressants and before I was ever diagnosed as having depression, I often had these suffocated feelings and feelings of not being able to breathe properly. I believed at the time I had a lung problem and that exercise would help. So I started swimming about 3 nights a week. The following two days after swimming I would actually feel worse, physically and mentally drained and my breathing would feel worse.

I think that depression/anxiety causes problems with breathing as the breathing centre in the brain is disrupted and that if your breathing isn't right then exercise can make it worse. But then that is just a guess, I'm probably talking utter rubbish.
