Exercise doesn't cure depression

I know, it does help though but benefits of it are shown in studies as being over longer periods of time. My regular exercise routine has helped some, nothing is a cure though. You can not have a magic fix to cure emotional problems. You can fix chemical imbalances with drugs, but nothing can fully medicate someone to happiness that is different trust me I know the feeling. 

If you ever need someone to talk to Jackie about this who has dealt with these types of issues for years or just someone to vent to, let me know and pm me. I'll lend an ear if I'm on. Having a brain that doesn't function quite right is a struggle, hang in there.

Thanks Sandy, it was a particular bad day but I think I'm doing better. I also think I need to give it more time, like others have mentioned. <3

I think people that don't struggle with clinical mental illnesses don't understand that a bad day to a mentally ill person is like 1000 times worse than having a "bad day" in the normal colloquial sense people normally use. I think people have been trained that they must talk in niceties and be coy if you're mentally ill less you upset others with your problems and they be inconvenienced by having to be near you. At least that is how I feel about it these days after having spent over a decade dealing with bipolar disorder.

(I kept writing about 3 more paragraphs after this one, needless to say it has been a bad day for me as well for multiple reasons so I will spare you).
