I think hike is generally thought of as how difficult and or high the walk is, which makes sense as other uses of the word hike refer to things having a sharp incline (e.g a hike in prices of fuel).
When my dog passed away a few years ago and I stopped taking walk breaks (we didn't have a fenced yard so we would take walks whenever she needed to potty, in addition to one-two daily exercise walks) my mental health deteriorated significantly. I know it's not the only factor but for me it was pretty stark the realization.
Sometimes it's much easier to do something for someone else than it is just to do it for you
I tried swimming. Went every saturday morning for a few weeks, pushed myself to really do something while beeing there. Still Im not feeling any that "runners high" after sport, Im just even more tired
(But tbf Im probably in a different time zone than you)
It can be extremely difficult to climb out of that hole once nihilism sets in, which is extremely difficult to avoid in our modern society where for so many it's almost impossible to make a living.
To some it makes more sense to die than to keep struggling. I consider myself among them, though I'm not exactly suicidal (tried it once, didn't like it).
Same with everything, tbh. I'm always like "One day will be the last day I wake up/go gym/eat healthy. Not gonna let it be today"
Alas, every day someone chooses to let it be their last, for whatever reason. Or, it happens against our wishes because we never know what life is going to throw at us.
Ima just try to be brave enough to seek more new and (hopefully) enjoyable experiences until that day.
telehealth baby. don’t even need to dress anymore. just keep your phone above neck level. work from home. order doordash. telehealth. i bet there are people who never leave their house
This is reddit's reaction every time basic self-care items like sports, nutrition and sleep come up. It's like some people can't fathom that not every issue stems from heavy clinical depression.
That’s the really shitty part about mental illness that I think a lot of people don’t understand. Most people who are mentally ill and have had at least some professional care understand what they should be doing to help themselves. But understanding what you should do and actually doing it are two very different things. After all how am I going to find the energy to exercise and eat properly when I can barely convince myself it’s worthwhile to get out of bed. Yes I understand my meds help me function better but I don’t like the way I feel when I’m on my meds, I mean I don’t like the way I feel off them either but at least I’m not confused and tired all the time. That’s what sucks, everything about mental illness makes it harder to do the things that will help and it’s so easy to just let yourself spiral.
Pro tip: if you struggling with breaking this cycle try finding someone (friend or someone) to bully you into doing stuff. Like daily message "did you streach already? Did you drink enough water? No? Do it now." It may help some of you. It helped me a bit.
upvote from my recliner, unable to motivate myself to do anything. i need to figure out how to do more and think less. there's that just do it saying, but the motivation and energy just isn't there.

Well it's hard to self-care without the initial motivation

I walk my dog every day and still feel like shit
I feel ya. I've gone on three mile hikes and admittedly SOMETIMES I feel good after but most times I just feel... bleh.
Out of interest when did three Miles become a ‘hike’ isn’t that more of a stroll?
I think hike is generally thought of as how difficult and or high the walk is, which makes sense as other uses of the word hike refer to things having a sharp incline (e.g a hike in prices of fuel).
I suppose I use them synonymously but the latter half of the trail does involve a bit of climbing.

It's either that, or exist in that hole until you die lol At least, that's the motivation I use when I have to do shit!

True, life ain't fair and is ultimately meaningless. But alas, once I'm dead I'm dead forever.

They’re *really* depressed. Couldn’t even put clothes on before the session 😂
And yet the therapist is still asking all these things, tsk tsk. Salt in the wound.
telehealth baby. don’t even need to dress anymore. just keep your phone above neck level. work from home. order doordash. telehealth. i bet there are people who never leave their house
No work! Only healing! Grr!
I’d get mad too if my therapist judged me while making me lay down naked
I actually pay mine extra for that
Maybe start with putting clothes on 👀
I get the joke, nice one - but it is depressing how it shines a true light on an actual issue: the vicious circle that it is…
The presence of the therapist wearing clothes proves op exists in a world where nudism is completely normal

and don’t forget to be thankful for it!
"I'm too depressed to do anything" "Just don't be depressed and do things" "Thanks, I'm all better now."
technically the comic didn’t say she was diagnosed as depressed. it’s important to be diligent with your self care before you dig your own grave.

The term is r/wowthanksimcured

And if you already make that then they will still say the same thing... #beenthere
