anyone go on long walks when feeling depressed

[THE-INTROVERT]

to clear head and get exercise

 

[kihira]

Lots, bike rides too

 

[FountainandFairfax]

Yes, I go to a park and walk the nature trails. Also, sometimes I drive to the beach late at night and walk. That’s really good.

 

[takethislife]

I prefer bike you can go way farther than walking for the same amount of time

 

[Kiwong]

I go on long runs these days.

When my knee was bad I went on long walks

 

[Burntfaceman]

I DO IT!!!! and when im angry and sad lol its really healthy coz u get fit and let off steam at the same time

 

[Paahi]

Yeah I love walks in nature, it really clears one's mind.

I used to love going for long walks alone at night. It was one of my favorite things to do and would really help me deal with all the turmoil brewing inside of me. Then I moved to a new city and into a bad neighborhood. I no longer go for walks at night and try to be in before dark so I don't get randomly murdered by a street gang.

 

[OneOh1]

I walk alone A LOT, I also drive alone A LOT

 

[Kinetik]

Nah, SA makes me lethargic and apathetic. I'm far more inclined to not leave the house, especially if I'm going through a rough patch. To be fair though, I was never that good at helping myself - all the experts say to exercise if you feel down, but I can rarely be bothered.

ohyeah, i go on long walks all the time, i dont think of it as excercise at all, i think best when i walk.

 

[lunaticbinge]

Sure do. Just went on one about an hour ago.

 

[MollyBeGood]

I do it, 3 times a week or more and it's like an instant happiness pill for me.
The exercise is really important to peoples well-being, plus the fresh air, sunshine if applicable and time with my Dog <3 it!

i love to ride horse too, for the same reason but you get no real exercise, lol...the horse does well i guess it's good for your abs or something...

Nice long walks, to either think over things calmly or just to appreciate the walk itself. I get to a point where I stare at the water (sea or river) for ages before going back and that makes me feel amazingly well!

 

[EscapeArtist]

Just did. Was not a good idea this time. 3 hours is too long. Overwhelmed

 

[HeadFace]

Yup. Definetly. Helps me think things over more. No distractions. Just walking aimlessly around my area. Sometimes with my iPod on. Sometimes I just worry about seeing old friends or people I know, when I'm out.
Though, recently I havent really. I only do when the wheathers alright, or just at night. I hate grey wheather.

 

[xautumns_glare88x]

i either hike or do some photography to clear my head, exercise is always a plus

 

[coyote]

a long hike on a trail in the woods is great

for me, it's like going to church
