Anyone else sick of hearing, "Well do you exercise and eat right? Have you tried meditation/breathing exercises/yoga? You need to spend more time outside. You aren't trying hard enough." The answer is YES I have tried all of those things and I have tried to stick with all of those things (accountability buddies, detailed scheduales with alarms, apps, etc) but there is always a day I wake up start doing it and feel like complete shit and just give up because of DEPRESSION! You know the whole physically not having the energy to care about anything?! Chicken and the egg.

      for me what helps is honestly just a relax day where i sit in bed all day. some people say it’s not good for you but personally i think it helps so much because i get to relax and not stress. taking a day off of work or cancelling plans for mental health is totally a good exception and a normal thing that needs to be talked abt more.

      This annoys me so much. When I was my healthiest and most active I was the most depressed I have ever been. I’ve put on 20 pounds since then and feel better accepting that than trying to always eat healthy. It’s one of those things that just sucks the life out of you sadly.

      YES. I feel this. Have tried all those thing, but depression can kill any motivation to even try. Sometimes I can’t even get off the couch, and not for lack of trying or being active. When I feel okay, I’m an extremely active outgoing person, but when I’m depression, I can’t move. People don’t seem to understand how hindering it can be.

      Depression is just a real killer of any motivation. I use to love going out and riding horses and hiking the fields and wanting to be outside 24/7..now I just want to sit on my rear eating popcorn and doing absolutely nothing..yet I know I must get up and push myself no matter what to do what is best for my health..even tho I sometimes tell myself it’s pointless..yet the day will pass anyways. 💕 💕 💕
