Believe it or not, I advocate this. My depression got far worse this year when I stopped my workouts. I used to go heavy at the gym (and lost 115lbs) but the loose skin in my stomach made it nearly impossible to continue, and at that same time I picked up a second job that took my energy from me. I just got an abdominalplasty to remove that loose skin and I'm very eager to get back to the gym. It'll still be a couple months before I can, but I know for a fact exercise -- while not a total cure -- DOES help. Maybe it's just 5%, but it's something.

Also sunshine. God, I'm already itching for winter to be over....and it's just started

Holy shit thats incredible, great job, yeah when it’s safe to work out again you should do it. I live in sweden so i know all about how dark and depressing winters get. We get maybe three hours of sunlight around midday then its back to darkness…
