But its also not the last step. it is part of the process.", ">\n\nWhat exactly is your argument? I think that you’re saying it is unlikely that you will start working out while severely depressed, so the supposed life changing effects of the exercise are more the fact that you weren’t at your lowest point anyways. Tell me if I’m wrong, but I’ll go on that interpretation. \nDepression has peaks and troughs, like any other illness, and most people with depression have good and bad days. There isn’t really an identifiable “lowest point,” because you never know what your lowest point will be. \nGaining the willpower to start exercising can happen on a “peak” day, where you feel up to pushing yourself. Yeah, in a week or a month you might sink back to a trough, but maybe it’ll be an easier trough because you’ve found a new, healthy coping mechanism. \nAs with all treatments or medicines or therapies or whatever we want to label it as, you need to want to do them. By your logic, all treatment is ineffective because you needed the willpower to seek it out, so you must have already been overcoming your depression.", ">\n\n\nHowever, I propose that you will not start working out when you are at your lowest.\n\n1, Not what depression is or how it functions. I was diagnosed with depression and depression itself is very much a long-term problem, not a short-term state of mind. There were days I was happy, days I was sad, days I was manic, etc... The problem was the \"average\" mood/motivation/energy level to which always return. Which was pretty low. It's perfectly possible to work out (find the energy, find the motivation, etc...) on good days. And even continue doing it on bad days if you built up the routine.\n2, Not how everybody sees working out. To me, working out was very much the coping mechanism for my depression. You know how when you procrastinate you do everything but your homework? Well, that's how working out felt to me, it was the procrastination. It wasn't something I had to motivate myself to do, I was doing it gladly. It was everything else that was the problem for me. \n\nYou finding the willpower to start working out means you were already overcoming it.\n\nNope, wrong. You can have severe depression while living an incredibly healthy lifestyle. Or while having a happy marriage, or while going out with friends on most nights. None of these is indicative of CURING or OVERCOMING depression. That's the scary part about depression. You can feel like a low-energy wreck who wants to die during any of these lifestyles.", ">\n\nFirst of all, no one really says \"cures\" like an antibiotic cures and infection. That individuals report this is akin to them saying that great relationship cured it, or finding god, or focusing on job or school and so on. The narratives of what helps someone overcome depression are always simplified and should not be taken as truths that it will always work for everyone.\nCan depression prevent someone from pulling it together and getting exercise? Yes. But...does exercise change the chemistry of the body and mind? Yes, and in ways that improve mood. You seem to interpret others narratives of personal experience as if they are a prescription that is 100% foolproof and I don't think people are saying that. But, you swing the pendulum too far - exercise can improve mental state, period. Can depression prevent you from exercising? Sure. Must it? No, not for everyone.\nThe \"probably in a better place than you thought\" is akin to saying to someone \"hey...you're not REALLY depressed\", which is something you should generally avoid doing!", ">\n\nFor me working out isn't just a \"productive habit\" but it instead provides me with tangible mental benefits: My overall mood will improve, my anxious thoughts become less \"sticky\", I feel more relaxed, and I generally start thinking more positively. The effects of working out are very similar to the effects of my antidepressant (flouxetine) minus the improved sleep. Another big difference is the timing. Flouxetine took around 2-3 weeks before I felt something but the effect is pretty much permanent (as long as I take it I assume). Going to the gym on the other hand provides immediate relief but the effects decay over the next ~12h.\nAnd this brings me to my main point. For me it's super easy to go to the gym during depressive episodes because I know that doing so will provide immediate relief. Furthermore I will generally start to sleep less and lose interest in my other hobbies, so there's pretty much nothing that competes with my time. Being physically active also doesn't require mental energy since the movements happen pretty much subconsciously so this isn't even a factor.", ">\n\nHave you tried it?\n\nHowever, I propose that you will not start working out when you are at your lowest. Instead you'll do so once you have found enough surplus willpower to pick it up and stick with it. When heavily in a rut it is hard to find such surplus willpower because so much of it is used to get through life.\n\nI totally agree with the idea that some people are just completely clueless about how debilitating mental illness can be, and people simply can't just \"power through it\". \nHowever, I don't think that that is the lowest point. \nThat is actually a point of equilibrium. \nFor me, I've not been motivated at all to do anything the past 10+ years. I was sleeping upwards of 20 hours a day. \nBut in a few rare events, my depression/anhedonia got SO BAD, that I just couldn't take it anymore. I HAD to get up and do something.\nThere were times I wouldn't clean my room for MONTHS. I had garbage piling up like mountains.\nBut when depression got so bad, I just couldn't even stay still. I couldn't sleep. I just kept pacing back and forth in my room, until eventually I just decided screw it, might as well clean it up cuz I can't go back to sleep or anything anyway.\nI also got back to swimming; once back in 2018 when the first wave of my depression hit, and again this year, when the 2nd wave hit;\nI feel SO much better after a swim or a cold shower. It's literally like night and day. All of my worries, my misery just completely disappears for a short while after those activities. It's like magic. \nOnce you're out of the actual 'lowest point', that's when you reach an equilibrium level of misery where you're still depressed enough to have no motivation, but it's not so bad that it actually motivates you to change your situation.", ">\n\nYour logic seems like it applies too going to a doctor and asking for a pill as well. Like... when you are looking to see if a pill is effective against depression you'd say \"does it work if you do it\".\nNobody is saying it's a \"cure\" anyways.. it's a therapeutic. Cures \"cure\" something. If it's cured you don't have to keep doing it.\nAnd your point is some people may be too depressed to take the therapeutic.. yes, this is true.\nYour claims that doing so means you're already getting better, that's not true. You can be mildly depressed, but not so depressed you can't exercise, for years.\nYour logic suggests that the only form of depression is severe, debilitating depression.", ">\n\nCorrect." ]
