Srijan Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 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! BoomDad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griselda Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Good luck with this new journey. The first step in fighting depression is admitting that you have it... Major weight gain for me this past year 40+ lbs, and although I Havent been diagnosed with it, I am sure its playing a big role. Started today after having it downloaded for a week +....

RTjess Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Hi Srijan! Today was my Day 1. Saw you posted on April 23rd. Hope you've been able to stick with it, but if not, that's okay! Today is another day and so is tomorrow. I, too, struggle with mild depression for which I am currently taking medication for. Hope you are well and are successful on your journey to complete a 5k in July! Take care! Srijan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
