Hey dude, look, i was depressed some years ago, i had everything going against me, i found my safe haven in the gym, it's scientifically proven that working out helps with depression, and it also helps your health, that sh## called Zoloft just messes people up, no one should be allowed to take it, depression is not something you should cure with medication, you should cure it, or at least manage it with life.
I was depressed, found my safe haven in the gym, and now, 5 years later, no matter what, everytime i start getting depressed i go to the gym, i had problems far worse than the ones i had when i was depressed, and i was able to deal with them because of the gym, you should give it a try
Also, don't be depressed because of your dog, my dog had a murmur since birth, he ended up dying 3 years ago because of a brain cancer, so nothing related, they can live a long time with that, just be sure he doesn't run around all crazy, play with him a little but nothing to hard, always keep him hydrated and chose the best dog food ( do a online search, some of the top dogs food are actually shit, they are full of chemicals that give cancer)
PS- Sorry if my english is not the best, i wrote that way to fast
Thankyou so much for your valuable response :) I appreciate that so much. The gym is my favorite place to be actually but unfortunately ever since I took this med I haven’t been going :/
I only use meds as a last case scenario, antibiotics, ibuprofen, painkillers, (ofc i get vacines), people nowadays like to use meds for everything, our body is able to deal with most of the stuff we use meds for
I actually wrote big-ass answer to this comment, but i didn't post it , i'm going to rewrite it and actually post it on my blog in some days, i love this stuff, i'm learning it in veterinary medicine after all
And just to finish this comment, GO BACK TO THE GYM! XD
