You had to keep lifting? You make it sound like a side effect. Do you think its possible you are conflating "lifting" with "exerting energy"?

  Does it matter? That's missing the forest for the trees a bit, isn't it?

    Ye-yes..I think it does matter. It's possible I have no idea what you mean by your post above. I just don't think there is a problem with "having to keep lifting."

      The whole point of what I was saying had nothing to do with lifting and everything about being careful if you're going to do something radical to alter your mood if you're a depressive. My advice would have been the same if I had said to be careful about abruptly stopping a medication. My lifting injury was related to my sciatic nerve. I could barely walk for months and sitting or standing for any length of time was a challenge. Taking on any other kind of physical activity was out of the question. The effect on my mood and the depressive episode stopping my workouts triggered was a pretty significant problem. If you're a depressive and you suddenly start doing something majorly physically-taxing, get really good training and be very, very careful. But I had great programming and an industry-leading coach and I still got hurt.
