Exercise should be ‘core treatment’ for depression – study

After a couple of decades of people telling me exercise would help, I finally decided to try it last year. For 6 months, I did at least some form of exercise at least every other day which, coming from years of being completely sedentary, was quite a change. And at the end of all of that...nothing. I was in better shape of course, but I didn't feel any better, didn't have any more energy, and wasn't any less depressed. That's just one anecdote of course, but my point is that it really sucks seeing studies continually say exercise is the best thing we've got because if that's true then I am well and truly screwed lol

Chronic pain mood

Incredibly accurate. I've had migraines since at least high school that have evolved into a migraine that hasn't stopped for a second for at least 4 years now. Most of the time I can soldier on, but I'm having an all caps night tonight.

I haven't had a migraine free day in at least 4 years. I have tried every migraine drug on the market. The only thing that works for me is Midrin. Which was discontinued in 2009. Good thing you can get it at a compounding pharmacy. Oh wait! You can't anymore. You can't get it anywhere. This last bottle on my desk is evidently one of the last in existence. And it's the only thing that works. So no, I won't just be taking the headache medicine. I've got to save it for when I have to function, not for when I want to feel better.

Yeah, I know (I checked it before I posted on the off chance I'd find some good news). That page hasn't been updated in a while and I was only told there would be no more available back in April

Should I have a flat frequency range?

Well the human ear hears different frequencies with different sensitivities, so make sure you and your tests are taking that into account. Otherwise, go with what sounds best to you and you alone. I used to preach the gospel of neutrality, but now I'm on team warmth all day long
