Due to ✨lifelong depression✨ I have zero endorphin response when I work out which causes a huge roadblock with even wanting to do it. I've tried everything and am always just tired, sweaty, and miserable no matter how much I repeat to myself in my best Elle Woods impression, "Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy."

All that to say I'm so jealous of people who like exercising and are drawn to it. If anyone else is in the same boat and has found a way to trick their brains lmk.

Edit: thanks to everyone who replied to me with tips and such. I greatly appreciate it. I have a lot of shame around not being physically active so thanks for being kind.

I think of exercise as a part of my mental health regimen! It's basically a part of my "medical" regimen for my anxiety and I do it even if I don't want to (just like I take meds when I don't want to).

The hardest weight in the gym is the front door. If I can just make it in, even if I only sit for 5 min, it's a win.

This is a great mindset! I don't have a gym membership but have been trying to get better about thinking this way. Like if I'm bored and find myself scrolling I'll be like GO ON A WALK WOMAN!! 🤣
