this. I was always mad when someone told me to just hit the gym...until I actually did. The difference actual exercise makes is insane.

same. my roommate's boyfriend told me to go to the gym when I told him I had severe depression. It felt like condescending advice, even though I know he's not the type to be condescending.. and after my fiancee left me, the woman who raised me died, and my dog died all in the span of about 3 months.. I just had no other choice because I was on the verge of suicide. Going to the gym gave me something healthy to do, was an alternative to just feeling bad about life, and has reduced my suicidal ideation to an almost non-existent amount. People should still seek professional help, but the gym definitely has a strong effect on depression.
