I'm glad to read this. When I exercise I frequently get "Runners Low" instead. I've seen people suggest that running is great for depression, but I've often found the exact opposite: exercise can actually induce sadness & negative thoughts in me on days when I feel great. It doesn't always happen to me, but it happens often enough that it annoys me whenever I hear the suggestion to "go for a run, you'll feel better". That doesn't seem universally good advice for everyone.
The longest I've ever run is 14km, and I've done 12km City To Surf a few times. I still exercise & work out, but I keep myself motivated & upbeat using music, and try to make it the last thing before bed, so I can sleep off any bad feelings and/or exhaustion.
