Is it better to do anything on days that you can't get out of bed? I have clinical depression and some days im too tired to move, can I improve my health by doing a few small things throughout the day instead of one long continuous workout.
Working out with depression
no it's obviously not good for you to work out
What i should have said is, is there any point to doing a few exercises throughout the day or is it so insignificant that im just wasting my time
It's better to do a little bit than doing nothing at all. If you're anything like me, you'll end up working out as normal even if you try to do only a few exercises. Just try it and see how it goes.
Working help helps depression.
It sucks to try and is hard to do but just go lift weights, then have a shower, and get a burrito with tons of meat and eat it while you watch something awesome.
You'll feel better.
This is the best advice, the hardest part is just getting out of bed and starting - I know because I struggle with it too. You can do it OP. WAGMI.
Yeah for sure. It's actually ideal compared to a singular long session. Going for 10-15 minute walks after eating and splitting up lifting weights into 2 sessions each day with the same volume is ideal for both health and time management
>muh depression
homie what is this, 2015? Everyone knows that it's made-up bullshit by now.
it took longer than usual for the morons to show up
>Depression was invented in the 2010's
I think OP has physical symptoms such as fatigue and lack of focus and energy. Brain chemistry can affect your body. The reason there is pushback against "depression" is because of Americans fear that it will stop them from being able to make enough money for Mr.Shekelstein to upgrade to a 40 foot yaught.
America doesn't have a productive economy anymore, so nobody needs to work hard. Mr. Shekelstein's yacht upgrade comes from meaningless financial voodoo and thieving credit expansion. Even if you know nothing about this, you should have noticed
>lots women in obviously unnecessary jobs
>massive DEI programs that obviously distract from production
>products that are self-destructively antagonistic to the product's own audience, as in AAA game development
which are all incompatible with your vision of Mr.Shekelstein caring that you might get too depressed to work. You not working would only improve your company's racist demographic stats and lead to more BlackRock investment in it. That this is obviously suicidal in the long run is part and parcel of an excessively financialized imperial-collapse economy.
The reason there is pushback against "depression" is that "depression" is not even a useful term, except to enable self-destructive behaviors by the "depressed" or to support grifters who only even promise to numb some symptoms of it on a subscription basis. If you're sad for some objective reason, that strong alcohol can you make you forget your worries for a time does mean that your REAL problem is "excessive brain oxygen levels", it just means that your brain is hackable.
better to do a few push ups than do nothing
have you tried just not being sad?
Im not sad im tired
go to sleep sillyhead
20-30 minutes is all you really need
trying to force yourself to do as much exercise as you can manage is probably one of the best things you can do to try to help your depression. You need the endorphins and healthy natural dopamine man.
Yes, start small if you can't stomach the thought of doing a whole routine. You can start with something as simple as pushup sets a few times a day.
get on testosterone and roid now
steroids dont cure mental problems. They usually make them worse
I dread the workouts anymore. Once I do them I feel better but getting to them is the biggest obstacle.
Depression? Your a female?
Just stop being depressed pussy. What are you sad about b***h
In my case, I had to work out for two weeks to see some effects on my baseline (just like with meditation). If I don't work out for more than a week, my mood worsen and I have to start again. Back to your question, if you manage to start a workout, try to make it as long as possible, as that's where the endorphins come from. For me, the most difficult part is to start. I have never ever regretted it after, whatever tired I was feeling beforehand.
Get a job. Get a routine. Make your bed.
I made my depression so much better by slowly starting routine where I'm taking shower every day and going for walks. I used to be kinda person who went a week or two without bathing, but now it's unthinkable for me to not bathe every morning. Even during worst ever depression. Build the habit and you will stick to it. Your baseline will go up.
I’m a depressed homosexual but I just try to shut out all my emotions. I still go to the gym and work, but I’m basically a shell now.
I trade my sadc**t and anxious self for an apathetic one. Up to you if the trade off is worth it in your case
Just cheer up
If nothing matters anyway, why not lift?

It's a mystery that I'm sure you have no clue on how to fix.
