Honestly if you feel bad a lot of it has to do with what you eat and how much activity you get.

This has some real ‘just go touch some grass’ energy. You sound like my brother who after a decade of telling me that my mental health issues are my fault because I don’t live the way he does, still can’t seem to comprehend that fucked-up brain chemistry is a thing that exists. All the salads and fresh air in the world won’t suddenly fix my neurotransmitters and just magically correct the fundamental dysfunction up there. Maybe don’t act like you know what will fix me if you don’t even understand what’s wrong with me.

What if its not your brain chemistry and really has to do with your habits? What if brain chemistry is just an excuse? I dont know for you, but there definitely is a correlation between people doing less physical things and mental illness.

I’ve been dealing with this for over 20 years and no matter what my level of activity or diet has been, that’s never changed. I used to run marathons and was in excellent shape for years, and it never made me any less bipolar/depressive at all, that’s how I know.

This has to be the single fucking stupidest opinion I’ve seen anyone voice whole year. Jesus fuck, forget anything I said about how I think you mean well, because you clearly don’t. You’re a fucking walking and talking example of the Dunning-Kruger phenomenon who has their head so far up their ass that they think brain chemistry is an excuse, and that your fantastically idiotic opinions clearly mean you’re wiser than the rest of us plebs when you can’t even process the thought that maybe mental illness could affect how much someone exercises. How you manage to function in society without dying of drinking bleach is completely beyond me
