Stick with it

So i do seem to struggle with depression which i do not see a doc for and choose not to. I know i went and got a gym membership to help with overall health but after a week i stopped going. I liked how i felt after wirking out but cant bring myself to do it. I guess the answer is jus to do it but something pretty simple for soneone else.

why would you not go to therapy if it might help you sort things out and help you learn management skills and coping mechanisms and understanding more about yourself and living with depression. No judgement...just know that many have their own reasons, I personally had good and bad experiences with therapy...but the good out weighed the bad enough to help me move on in life and have a better understanding of this disease.

who cares what anyone else thinks, where I come from therapists have therapists and everyone has a therapist. If your trying to do something that is going to make you feel better, it will also reflect on your ability to be even a better parent, how is that anything to be judged when your doing a positive things to be the best person and parent you can be.

Its just i dont want to feel this way and i do everything to fight it.I dont want depression or none of this junk.But it can also be genetic and i know it runs n my family. I may take a step and scedule a therapy apt today.

it's okay to ask for help, and there is no judgement if we don't take that on-board. The smartest thing I ever did was ask for help.

I agree that it might be a good thing to discuss this with your doctor. I didn't for a long time because of pride. Exercising does help me some as well, but it probably won't replace therapy and seeing a doctor for help. I think mine is genetic as well, but God has been gracious to bring lots of healing this year! I pray the same for you.

Thank you so much. I went to the gym today and felt amazing afterward. But being around so many people eventually drains me.Im taking steps forward and need to still scedule for therapy.

Keep going whether its at a gym or just walking in the neighborhood exercise is a very important part of managing depression and the results can be addictive
