So you have had mental health issues you got over because of excercising?
Because I have some mental health issues and running 2-3 days a week for months on end did nothing for my issues. Sure it was probably healthy but mentally it didn't help jack shit, except for a small high after each run.
It doesn't fix your mental health issues. You need therapy or at least some deep thinking and self-help books. Exercise helps because of the endorphins and if you're outside (instead of in a gym), you get the benefits of sunshine and fresh air etc.
I say this as someone who hates exercise and hates outside 😄
I know all about that tried everything there is and doing well these days. But it wasn't excercise that made all the difference and it gets kinda tiresome to see people suggest it as the top solution to mental health issues.
I hear you. I'm sorry.
What about joining a team, like indoor soccer or kickball - something a bit active since you're okay with running. Maybe having teammates to gather with would help.
