Thanks to everyone for sharing your experiences. It’s interesting to hear your view on exercise and mental health and I hope there’s been some learning or wisdom you’ll take away with you from tonight’s discussion.
If you’d like to keep the conversation going, you might like to create a new discussion to explore your experiences on this topic.
I’ll leave you with a few links to some more info on exercise and mental health, including some practical tools from the Black Dog Institute to get you thinking more about starting an exercise routine as part of your recovery. Here goes…
Exploring the pros and cons of exercise
Overcoming barriers to exercise
How to exercise when you feel like you can’t
Exercising with limited mobiity
As a reminder, if this discussion has triggered anything for you, please reach out to a crisis line for support: Lifeline 13 11 14. If you have concerns about your relationship with your body weight, shape, and/or exercise, please reach out to the Butterfly Foundation: https://thebutterflyfoundation.org.au/our-services/helpline/
