Hello 19 year old with autism and depression here. Im on pills given by a doctor, ive tried therapy, dnd even. I just feel depressed and im not sure why possibly hormones or maybe that fact that i haven’t accomplished anything in my life or even done anything, also im broke to say. Everyone tells me to workout but i dont feel motivated to even do that plus its super hot outside and i cant afford a gym, maybe im making excuses…
I just feel lost on where i should be right now in life and im clueless on what the next steps are.
I play video games while exercising. Switch controllers in either hand while walking on a treadmill works really well.
I haven’t been depressed in a while, but I found extreme cardio to be a really good mood lifter, especially when playing a fun game.
I would also recommend avoiding triggers. News is mental poison. I have no idea what is happening in the world and I am substantially happier as a result.
