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?

Well, my lack of exercise has definitely helped make my mental health worse. My anxiety brings “inability to act” or “action paralysis” (not sure what the correct term is in English). Been on sick leave for over 10 years now and I’m stuck at home 95% of the time. I’ve tried so many times in so many ways to get exercise but as soon as I have any inkling of anxiety, which is the vast majority of the time, my body just shuts down and I’m unable to do anything but just be in the spot I’m in at that moment.
