For me, personally….
Exercise has made the absolute most impactful noticeable change in my depression/anxiety. Hands down- no question. More than any behavioral therapy, medication- or anything.
Just exercise.
Being able to look at myself in the mirror and see the results of the effort I have made is a huge anchor keeping the rest of the shit that's mostly outside my control from driving me crazy.
Yeah I picked up running this summer. A little while ago I injured my foot and couldn't run anymore, things instantly got worse for me.
Can you try swimming or something else that's low impact?
This evening will be my first day back at run club! I've been doing short runs for a bit now, as well as sitting on the stationary bike. But thank you for the suggestion
Good luck!
