Just had a nice sweaty workout and I feel nothing but dead inside. I just had to come home and cry right after working out. I like working out, it feels like I have blood running through my veins during that, but afterward there are no endorphins. Nothing makes me feel good. I still want to die, if not more. Fuck.

I know the feeling. I have been told over and over that exercise will make me feel better. It hasn’t worked yet for me either. I hope you find something that does help.
I’m actually in the gym now lol i feel like shit now lol. I still keep exercising because Im fat and i need to lose weight. I think it helps to an extent but its not a cure all by any means. I often feel just as bad or sometimes worse but at the same time i get to let out a lot of anger as well. Idk I think its an emotional release but if you are people like us who have so much pent up emotion it won’t have the same effect plus ive come across a study(that i cant link to for feat of moderation) that debunks the exercise helps depression myth. Granted the whole myth is based on its comparison to medicine as well (that’s another can of worms) in any event I’m proud of you for trying and dont quite quit but don’t expect the world from it either.
I agree entirely with what you said. Psychiatrists and therapists I’ve seen always suggest that I should exercise and it will alleviate my depression. I tell them all that it is complete and utter bullshit. I used to work out and play sports when I was in junior high and high-school and I had major depression then. In college I tgot back into working out for 3-4 months and it did absolutely nothing for my depression. Again, I must agree, it doesn’t do shit in making me feel any better.
