I am dealing with some mental health issues and part of recovery is having a holistic life that includes exercise. I used to exercise a lot including running, and I'm starting again using this app among others. That's me.

Thank you BoomDad. Hope you are travelling well

Good luck to you, I've dealt with my own issues and exercise truly is a great help both physically and mentally.

Hi! Srijan here, 28 year old man. I've been battling Clinical Depression for around 14-15 years. I was always a little overweight; I'm almost 30 kgs over my ideal weight now. Plus I'm borderline diabetic. Let's just say things have been getting out of hand! I remember watching a video of runners finishing the Boston Marathon. The gamut of emotions on display made me want to experience the pain, ecstasy and relief of completing, if not a marathon, at least a 10k run. So here I am, after a lot of false starts, starting yet again. My treatment 's finally started to show results. This time I intend to run my first 5k in July. Finished Day 1 today. Felt like I was going to die! But I made it. I hope to get some motivation from the members of this forum. And for my friends who've just started this journey, hang in there. You'll get better, stronger and faster! Cheers!
