In reply to When I excersize too much it worsens dep for sure » Johann, posted by AdamCanada on June 11, 2007, at 0:44:15
I remembered recently that a number of years ago, and for many years before that, I thought I had a form of chronic fatigue. Most any exercise of some intensity would deplete me physically and emotionally. Sometimes I would sleep many hours to recover.
Then, after I hiring a trainer and starting to increase my exercise by small increments, I found myself to be more robust--and generally healthier and more fit. But all this was contingent on taking it very slowly.
So my recent bout, of what appears to be exercise-induced depletion and depression after exercising much more than usual, makes me think I still have this underlying condition, or vulnerability to fatigue. I just don't notice it as much.
I think for many people the physical side of depression is pooh-poohed, and that it may be harder to exercise for depressed people than it is for others--which makes it all the more frustrating when "helpful" folk want to be cheerleaders. They don't understand.
