Exercise is the best drug.

Hi, some of you may have read my posts from yesterday. I have been at rock bottom for the past few months. Even worse over the past few days. Today I dragged myself to my laptop to get started on my uni work. I started writing then went blank. I just broke down into tears and thought I'm never ever going to finish this year like this. I literally just stared at articles with nothing going in for hours. I thought Forget this shoved my gym gear on and went on my treadmill. I ran, walked and ran again for 40 minutes until I got all my anger, upset and frustration out. I feel the best I've felt in days. I know it's hard to find the motivation to get active but if you can do it. Even if it's just a walk. I know in the past exercise as helped me and I'm going to make the time to allow it to help me again.
