Hey, thanks for sharing. Some visceral stuff there, I like the writing. Going to need to think about this.

Running and depression are good companions -- you've written well, my man. Onwards! Scowling, scraping, cowering, moaning, hurting but onwards ever, best you can.

Thank you for your honesty. My son has schizophrenia and I struggle to know what's going on in his head. I wish he could run like he used to, but he has lost the desire. Maybe some day.

It has to be something. Running works better than anything else I've found.

Great post! I can definitely relate-- I often say meds get me out the door, but running is the true medicine.
