What is it with therapists and exercise?? I mean, I know it's helpful. Who doesn't know that exercise is good for you in this day and age? I had just finished telling my therapist that I don't feel well, my body aches, I feel inordinately tired and have been to the doctor - who prescribed more tests and recommended more doctors. She's like "maybe you're fatigued because you're not exercising enough." I said to her, "That comment makes me feel like this is my fault - if only I exercised more I wouldn't feel like utter crap." (Ok, I left out the crap part). Thing is I used to be very active. I know very well how it's supposed to make you feel better. But I just don't think it's a magic bullet, like some people claim. Often, when I do get out for a long walk or do some other aerobic activity I come home and still feel achy or depressed. I am just so tired of feeling like I'm making this up, or this is my fault. Ugh. Gotta wait a whole week now to tell her that... Grumpy.
