I actually fucking hate this take.
Every single “therapist” is currently obsessed with this supposed link. As a consequence, they keep just spouting all kinds of nonsense about how activity or movement is the key to creating your own happiness chemicals.
Well, fucking newsflash, it doesn’t work for just anyone. I could work out an entire day and all I would feel afterwards would be sore and tired. I somehow seem unable to generate endorphins no matter how rigorous my physical activity. This has always been the case in my life, even long before I was officially diagnosed with MDD.
And before you assume me to be 350lb basement dweller, my BMI IS 22 and I’m actually an attic dweller (;))
Again, not saying there IS no link and that it isn’t important, but it’s being treated as the “cure du jour” and it seems to be a fad to me.
