Feel like exercise relieving depression is elaborate flame like everything else doctors say but I'd love to hear any positive experiences if you have them. I wonder if I'm so fucked up that misery is my only possible state of being.

and sadness is just repressed anger

Workout hard and eat nothing but unprocessed meat, eggs, milk, cheese, rice, fresh fruit, and vegetables for 2 weeks. Take 50,000 ius of vitamin D and 60mg of zinc each day. You'll feel like a new man.

It comes from the meme about vitamin D making short kids grow taller.

Nearly all of that vitamin D comes out in piss.

1. Vitamin D is fat soluble and therefore most excess is stored in fat and metabolized when the fat itself is metabolized.

2. Vitamin D isn't excreted in piss, but in shit.

3. I megadose this daily and it tangibly improves how I feel. Anecdotal, but there's very poor evidence that it's toxic at those levels (hypercalcemia is still quite far away), so the anecdote should be enough.

in short, you have no idea what you're talking about

OP, forget what I said about dance then. The others have a lot of empirical data showing spikes in dopamine (mostly from running), testosterone (from lifting), and serotonin (from both).

Benzos cause rebound anxiety/depression, you will stay fucked as long as you're on them

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5542786&forum_id=2#47760770)

eat clean, workout like a maniac, quit the internet for a week or two, read some fucking books

in short: purge the toxins from your life and replace them with physical struggle

The macho point is that exercise makes you feel a lot better which is true. But do what you need to do to launch until you don’t need the meds.

you seem slow -- is this spaceporn?

Exercise does make you feel great though

But directly (eg. By increasing dopamine and motivation) and indirectly (eg. Making you more confident, attractive, assertive, work out more, etc)

Got back in the gym and started putting work in, switched to mainly carnivore diet and started getting more sleep. It all worked together - working out meant I was tired so I could get good sleep, eating mostly meat meant I was satiated so I wouldn't eat random shit at night.

Feeling way better now - I probably wasn't depressed but I was extremely stressed and exhausted - totally unsustainable.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5542786&forum_id=2#47760664)

glad you're feeling good again

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5542786&forum_id=2#47760670)

The exercise is to distract you from it

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5542786&forum_id=2#47760657)

Stop drinking, protect your sleep, and get outside and walk at least 10k steps a day. Weightlifting is also good, but should be added once you have the rest under control.

Exercise released endorphins similar to having sex, so yea.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5542786&forum_id=2#47761184)

So all of the advice really boils down to -- get back to what youre evolved for, and you will feel better.

Keep in mind "better" is not "perfect", but it is better.

Your brain, like all your other organs, is built to pursue a task that is similar to hunting and warring. Youre meant to be absorbed in demanding physical activity to further your goal. Youre meant to wake up early and go to sleep early. Youre meant to enjoy whole foods and fast often. Youre meant to lift heavy shit, throw things, run and sprint and climb.

Youre probably also meant to take naps and be indolent sometimes, maybe in the heat of the afternoon.

Youre meant to get a lot of sun.

Basically, you need to artificially create primitive-man conditions and trick yourself.

I do think it works....

Shaming is useless and actually sadistic because it’s obviously counterproductive.
