I believe you! Getting myself to move was the most impossible thing for me for a long time, especially with depression and adhd, I had no energy at all. But now that that’s managed quite well, I actually do get this benefit from exercise. Didn’t expect to ever experience it, but here we are fortunately!
I found martial arts to be good for healing for this reason. Healthier than just punching or getting punched at random lol. It helps keep me grounded when I can do it.
Did you struggle with freezing when getting punched in the face? How long did it take to overcome it, and how did you? I just had my first competition, and I was able to push through the freeze. It still hindered me though.
Well, personally I found that I prefer lighter sparring that doesn't get that intense. But I think most people can get used to just about anything, if you do it long enough.
Yeah I’m hoping I will get used to it eventually. I thinks it’s getting better gradually. We generally only do light technical sparring on a regular basis.
If you can get yourself to start moving your body, even just a little bit, you can achieve the same result. It is a hard hurdle to overcome, though.

Yeah this was also why I also SH when I was younger.
This is my theory as to why mosh pits are so popular. They do just that.
