(Seriouse) what are the best ways to find motivation to do things, while dealing with depression? - eviltoast

Ive had a hard life that i dont really want to talk about especcialy online, so ive be feel depressed an unmotivated for a bit now. i heard exercising helps but is that true where do you even get motivation to start working out? i do bascily the same things everyday and i just want to do more in my life because its getting bland-er… also if you want to share a short life story go ahead, i feel im more in the idea department/creative department but yet i do nothing and my head i cloaded with life. i feel like i should put more here but ill just leave it here.

    I can relate. I’m going to go outside now and listen to something on youtube while I walk. It’s an easy way to be active. Just listen to something interesting and you just keep walking. I have suggestions for fiction and non-fiction to just get you outside moving.

    It’s hard for me at the moment, because it’s winter, bad weather, and I can’t go out and have fun on my bmx. In the summer… it’s bliss. I put on some music and just ride aimlessly around the city. I do it for hours. It’s exercise but it doesn’t feel like it. And if I’m using my muscles I don’t have time to be depressed.

    I’ll keep it short so it’s easy to read and get some inspiration. DM me if you need any more info on the above.
