Has exercise helped your mental health?

SavvyWolf@pawb.social to Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world – 199 points –

Just a simple question to those of you suffering from depression, anxiety or are just going through a tough time. Now or sometime in the past.

Have you tried exercising, and did it help? What kind, and how did it make you feel?

Hiking helped me a lot. I was out in the wilderness, touching grass, actually doing something for my health. Exploring the Alps was one of the best ideas I have ever had.

A little TMI but glad you are enjoying hiking!

How was this too much information?

“Touching grass “ sounds like a Sexual Innuendo. Maybe it’s just me. Didn’t mean anything by it just thought it was funny :( Womp womp

Touching grass is a (usually condescending) phrase that just means "going outside".

Don't be sad, we all misunderstand stuff sometimes :)
