I've had a non stop exercise regiment for the past 4 years, every day I do no less than 2 hours of physical fitness. I run, stretch, lift weights, and do other various activities during the week. I keep doing it and from day one I didn't like it, I thought "I just need to break through and then I'll enjoy it". These 4 years the only thing that has kept me going is the fact that it keeps me fit and healthy. However, I always feel like crap during and for some time after I do all these activities. I thought I would get better but I think 4 years is enough time to see some changes in my state of mind, None.

I'm fit, I'm strong I run fast and stuff but I don't feel good about myself. Around when I go to bed I don't feel good enough to make it through another day. Any ideas?

Physical does not always equal mental. There may be something else going on that exercise can't and won't cure.

Just because one exercises and eats nutritionally does not mean they will have good self esteem.

Can you please give us more insight?

Based on your other posts I really have to believe that you are depressed.

Based solely upon the username, I have to believe that it is possible that this person is depressed also.

First off I have no reason to be depressed, at least not a valid one. I don't look that bad, i'm fit and I'm alive. There is nothing wrong with me mentally or physically that could cause me to not do something.

Quick summary of the explanation below: I am beyond help.

First off I'm too embarrassed to go so a therapist(don't know why). Why else do you think i came to a forum for help.

Second I'm afraid of it becoming something that would cause me to not get a job or something.

Third I don't believe im depressed. I have it so much better than most people, I got parents no money problems as of yet, nothing bad has ever happened to me I really don't have an excuse to be depressed.

Finally, I'm paying someone to listen to me complain about my life to pretend they care what I have to say when I can get that here for free. At the end of the day it's just that a therapist doesn't care if you get better, he wants money and give you a drug to "make" you feel better so he can shove you off to get another patient.

Besides my twisted viewpoint on life doesn't help me either, and depression drugs are a way to cover up the problem not remove it. Where is it gonna get me anyways, maybe I like being depressed or whatever it is. I'm just looking for attention I suppose? Or it could be I want someone to feel sorry for me? Which doesn't make since because this is the first time i've ever told anyone that I feel this way and the last. It's not that I don't hide it, it's that no one cares. You asked and like I always say curiosity should never be denied.

Instead of exercise, try different sports. You may end up enjoying one.
