I almost feel bad posting this. I'm sure you guys have read it a thousand times - but yes, I'm suffering from depression. I had been exercising for at least a half an hour a day but then I hurt my back pretty bad. As soon as I quit, I became depressed to the point of being suicidal. Sadly, this is a cycle for me - I always go about two weeks sticking to a perfect exercise routine, then end up hurting myself.
I got off of birth control thinking it was just mood swings, but I'm still sad. Now it's been a couple weeks without exercise, but the depression's still here. I'm planning on becoming a psychologist, so it seems silly to go to one.
I just really want to be happy again. My friends are starting to notice I'm not the same, which is the saddest part of all. Plus lately I've been suffering from migraines, regardless of sleep of exercise patterns. I've had some tough relationships but I think I'm doing okay. Do you think this is something emotional, or is it biological? Maybe exercise makes up for a lack of serotonin or something?
I know many of you have been here before, so any advice is greatly appreciated.
