Is it normal exercising makes me feel suicidal

0% Normal
4 Comments

I've been exercising a lot recently and sometimes get a bit down or depressed after exercising, however today was really bad. During exercising I felt an extreme amount of depression overcome me, I had to stop exercising and I just broke down into tears. I really came close to hurting myself, I had a knife against my neck that I was digging into my skin because I really just wanted to cut my throat and end it all. I don't know why I get like this, the feeling and emotions just randomly overcome me and I just want to kill myself. I do have depression, however I've noticed it's the worst when I'm trying to exercise.

    Unless you are doing exercises wrong where they are really physically hurting you... this is not normal at all.

    Please seek assistance. There are many suicide hot lines around the world. Please call one local to you, and get the assistance you need.

    If your exercises are causing physical pain - I suggest you see a Physical Therapist. They can figure out what is hurting and why that is occurring in most cases (in some cases it takes a Dr and medical testing). They can then show you exercises to help you heal and how to properly do exercises once you are recovered.

    It could be that when you push yourself in exercise it brings out emotions that you normally suppress. I agree with others definitely reach out for help ❤️❤️❤️

    Maybe you're over-training and need more rest

    This isnt normal at all. Exercise improves dopamine and serotonin. I dont know why you're getting this reaction.
