exercise is suppose to improve mood right????!!!

Well not in my case.. I just started working out again after a pretty long break...(just a note during my previous work outs this was NEVER a problem)

well after my first work out I got the natural high most of us get but then it was followed by a crash??? .. I was depressed...irritable and my outlook on everythig changed.( this was pretty similar to a stimulant crash surprisingly??!!)

. I thought nothing much of it at first as I thought maybe it wouldn't happen the second time around but apparently it did..it is now a day after I completed my workout and I feel just as depressed as after I did after it.. ( i'd at least thing it would subside the next day)

The thing is...I was never depressed per se before starting working out...i felt more along the lines of apathetic...unmotivated...emotionless....now exercise is seemingly triggered a spout of actual depressing feelings..This is one of the few things that was suppose to give me relief..I hate drugs and it is the primary reason I turned to natural means and now apparently the most reccomended forum of an anti-depressant is making me depressed!! This is really strange..I can't find any answers to this researching and I don't think I will here either...unless someone has gone threw it..well that's all

Redirect: exercise
