    Running every morning is the hardest thing to imagine doing when you’re depressed. The worst part is that it works.

    You’re right about it being more about management than “overcoming”. I’ve also found, and heard others say, as you get older it naturally loosens its grip a bit.

      cart before the horse. people well enough to exercise benefit from that exercise but they were well enough to do it in the first place.

        I know, I am/have been in the same situation as OP. I don’t want to sound like a rise-and-grind guy, but when you get a little relief it’s something to keep in mind. It will make that period when you feel okay last a little longer.
