>>2567479>I have tried to explain it, but they keep telling me to keep doing it until I stop hating it, arguing that I can't get over having depression unless I learn to endure time outdoors.And they're 100% right, literally just stop being a bitch and do it.
40 minutes exercise a day minimum, when you're moving around you don't get as cold. Your circulation gradually improves as you do this, the cold doesn't feel as bad, you get used to it.
>I don't!You do. If you don't you haven't done it enough.
>It physically hurts!No it doesn't, you are mentally ill. Just stop being mentally ill.
>>2567480Yeah this, but in a different way. Regularity is key. Either you do what this anon says and commit to doing crazy outdoor stuff or you do it every day, just a little 2 or 3 mile walk every single day.
Once you actually do something like a 10 mile hike in poor weather though the rest of them seem easy. Pushing yourself further makes the easier ones seem easier. If that is completely undoable for you then just go outside every day and do some pointless, meaningless routine walk. Walk to a store or something, buy a 1 dollar lotto tcket there, and return home. You get used to it, at some point you see a decent day outside and actually want to go out.
>>2567573Yup. Literal children can do it, OP. We had kids in scouts who were like 13 years old who had to sleep outside in a shelter they made for the night in a mosquito-filled area, they did it. They were fine, they bitched a lot but less than you did.
Actual children are capable of going outdoors and having fun, you are sheltered and oversocialized.
Basically OP just get out of your own head, you constantly make threads and wonder if you should do XYZ and you talk to your therapist and you talk, talk, talk. Just stop fucking talking, stop thinking, get out of your head and drop the narcissism. The one thing I notice with depressed people is that they never leave their own head. Live in the outside world instead of headspace
