A study into whether physical activity alleviates the symptoms of depression has found there is no benefit.

Research published in the British Medical Journal suggests that adding a physical activity intervention to usual care did not reduce symptoms of depression more than usual care alone.

This contrasts with current clinical guidance which recommends exercise to help those suffering from the mental illness, which affects one in six adults in Britain at any one time.

I thought this was true and all - fuck yeah, randomised controlled trials!

i’m waiting for the study that proves that yoga at sunrise actually makes depression worse

woww holy poop nearly every counselor and therapist i’ve ever had has recommend exorcise to help my depression.

first suggestion my doctor made. you’re technically obese, why not exercise, it will help with depression too? i’m like… yall really have never had depression huh? 

Legit conversation I’ve had:

Therapist: “You’d be happier if you exercised more.”

Me: “I have asthma and no free time. How will that help?”

Therapist: “Well, you’d be happier if you lost weight.”

hey, I have asthma too! 
my therapist is pretty pushy about exercise, but it’s pretty dangerous for me.

thesylverlining: Can I just say how cool it was that both of these superheroines’ personalities and powers were explored in this episode? And how well it was done? Starfire was not shamed for being emotional. Her powers come from her emotions. Raven was not shamed for suppressing her emotions. Her power requires amazing control. They both. Work. They are both different kinds of strength, and they are both heroic and powerful and good. And they each learned from the other, and helped each other out by seeing from each others’ perspective, and finding the value in their differing approaches! Wow! Fuck yes, this is how you write super-ladies, okay. There’s more than one way to be a “strong female character.” There’s all different kinds of strength. Why don’t more people GET this?

blackwithflowers: I think Black people are not afforded the luxury of existing without being pigeonholed into an aggressive state of being. Many times Black people are displayed as hyper-aggressive and because of this display we create a mentality that were stuck with hyper-aggressiveness.  That isn’t to say that being strong, tough, or aggressive are bad things, they come with our survival. But the vunerability, pain, and gentleness that Black people reveal are not present many times in the media or even in our homes. The luxury of intimacy with other people is so small in comparison to the thousands of images of us being strong and “animalistic” (by intimacy I mean without guards, barriers, being invested with other people without a facade to what you are or layers you create.) Similar to the phrase ”carefree black girls and boys”, I wanted to give a safe space to vulnerablity of Blackness to be  on display ———————————————————————————— Genteel, Romanctic, Poetic, Ethereal, intimate and vulnerable imagery of Black people.___________________________________________ Submissions are welcomed! ————————————————————— 1.Jourdan Copeland|Source 2.
