I hope this doesn't come across as a personal attack. This is meant to be a message for people reading your comment.
If push-ups can treat your (undiagnosed) depression, then you do not have depression. Full stop.
This is not to say that you did not have a mental illness, or that you did not experience real suffering. However, doing a session of push-ups will not treat depression or significantly alleviate its symptoms. For anyone reading this, if you think you may have depression, you absolutely, urgently need professional treatment. Push-ups, running, or meditation will not fix it.
- namuol 9y agoThank you for emphasizing this (definitely not taken as a personal attack). This is basically what I meant with that disclaimer. Also, I hope I didn't trivialize anyone's suffering, and if I did I am truly sorry -- I'll avoid using these words in the future.
