[QUOTE=will19;7438464]Doing exercises always help with my depression, even when I don't feel like it. I feel better while doing it and after. In itself it doesn't totally cure it, but it helps. Well, shoot!, even prize-winning athletes struggle with it. I'm sorry to hear about you not being able to move around as much.
I was very depressed last week when I couldn't do my band resistance and bike riding. I could have done other things but I didn't know what to do. Also I had to endure the loud noises from next door when they were doing the driveway and being so hot.
The stitches came out yesterday but I have to heal a little bit more, which means no band resistance until next week. At least I can go bike riding, so that's OK. Thank you so much for asking me.[/QUOTE
thank you Will. I understand about noises going on, I have that here, they were doing a roof for 2 weeks or so, and just cutting grass, weed whackers, birds too early chirping in the morning. I'm actually believing righ now, as I'm very stressed out, that there are benefits to liking winter. i don't like how cold it gets or going outside much, to just sit, its too cold unless you're moving around. I think I sleep better in winter too, because of less bugs, most people are inside their own houses. Having sleep or peace interuppted so much isn't nice at all. .in winter, I think of ''well its nice and quiet compared to the noise, and it's ok to be a little lazier and get warm. I use a heating pad and it helps my pain. Sorry to go on and on.... but I find it very hard to get peace lately too. Thatks for sympathizing with someone who can't move around enough, I appreciate that. Hope when you get to do those resistance bands it will help. Thanks for reading my post. Depression can be a beast. If I could do what you're doing I'd lose some of my depression. I hope you're having a better day/evening/night when you see this!
