Woke up this morning feeling really crappy mood-wise - - which is how I felt yesterday and Saturday - - went for a jog/walk and now feel much better. Too bad the endorphin high doesn't last longer. I'll enjoy it while I can. I now have enthusiasm for the day, whereas before exercise I just was dreading the day. The last time I felt good before this was Friday, which is the last time I jogged.
I think I will talk my husband into seeing if he can fix my exercise bike. Maybe I could hop on that when the improved mood from jog/walking wears off. Amazing how just jogging a little bit can improve my mood so much. I am thankful that something works for me.
Actually, according to WebMD, exercise also releases norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin. Too bad the ECT I'm having and the antidepressant I take don't help out with that enough. Very frustrating, but at least I get a break somehow in the feeling bad.
