> hey guys how are you? I'm just wondering if anyone on this board feels worse and more depressed/anxious after working out. I do every time no matter what, maybe I need more anti depressant or something. My mood clearly goes down afterward. Maybe I need a mood stabilizer. well thanks cya
Personally I think exercise is overratated. I've had depressive episodes while exercising daily
and I've never been able to exercise out of a depressive episode. If anything get a rebound effect for a couple hours. Possible stimulant effect to the brain like a cold shower.
My p-doc says he feels exercise has helped his patients recover about 25% on average.I've known paralyzed people in wheelchairs who were very happy with the quality of their lives while known exercise fantatics who had severe depressive episodes.
But it's worth a shot. Good for your body. Personally I believe from a holistic point of view that being passionate about something in life is a key component.
As far as overexercising goes beware. Exercising with disc damage can lead to a total disability where one will hardly be able to walk. Pain will than be your constant companion.
