I just did this the other day.
I told her it was an space for inclusivity and zero tolerance against hate. And a cool place for theory discussión + memes.
My therapist said it was awesome to have a place like that on today's reactionary internet.
And then she said I need to log off a little and go to the gym.
The biggest improvement in my mental health was exercising three hours a day and eat stir fried vegetables and green yoghurt for desert everyday for six months. I got high the whole time too and still wound up in the healthiest mental space I’ve known for 20 years with a more positive outlook and material reality than ever before.
Exercising, eating right, drinking water, stop drinking too often, it might not cure 100% of your mental afflictions but goddamn it will help.
Totally. My therapist ended up telling me how exercise helps a great lot with sadness and anxiety.
My social anxiety is not the same it was when I started the sessions and is now time to take "another step". I'm just "mustering" my strength to start the gym.
Thank you for sharing your experience, it means a lot.
