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?

Walking while concentrating on what i feel in different parts of my body helps me in high stress situations, and longer walks once in a while when I’m not completely stressed out helps clear my mind. swimming in thermal water also helps keep my overall stress level down when I’ve got enough capacity left to actually do it.
so yeah, the right exercise customised to my actual capacity to do exercise helps a lot - but i have to allow myself to just stop doing it without beating myself up if I’m not up to it.
