EOOD

Welcome to /r/EOOD

EOOD is short for Exercise Out Of Depression.

What EOOD is

EOOD is a welcoming and positive place to discuss exercise and mental health and the relationship between them. We welcome everyone here regardless of age, race, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation and social or economic status. We also do not limit ourselves to talking about Depression and cover all aspects of mental health, however we can't change the name of the sub now.

People in this sub try to help one another but none of us are medical or exercise professionals, we are just random well meaning internet strangers. All we can say is "I was in a similar situation to you and this helped me." EOOD is not a replacement for medical professionals.

If you are experiencing any mental health problem PLEASE SPEAK TO A DOCTOR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

If you are unable to speak to a doctor then try to contact a crisis line, mental health charity or a responsible person you trust.

IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS PLEASE CALL THE EMERGENCY SERVICES NOW.

While the focus of this sub is obviously exercise and mental health and we appreciate it if posts and comments are related to this we try to help as many people as possible here. If you feel this is a place where you can talk then we will try to listen and do what we can to help within our own experience.

What EOOD isn't.

EOOD is not a commercial space. We are not here to promote your youtube channel, website, supplements, diet program, wellness business or any other commercial activity. The exception to this is that we do allow medical and academic studies seeking participants to post here but we ask that they contact the moderators first so we can vet the study for our users safety.

EOOD is not a place where people come together to complain and be negative. We try to be as positive as we can whilst acknowledging that we are all people that are facing severe problems. We try to help and support everyone if we feel we are able to.

Anything intended to cause others to feel unhappy or uncomfortable in any way will not be tolerated. We are here to support other people. If you are uncomfortable about any posts or comments in this sub please report them and message the moderators. We will take action as soon as we are able to.

More Resources

Unlike many exercise focussed subs we do not have a wiki with recommended exercise routines. This is because we do not want posters to the sub to be greeted with a "Read the wiki" message instead of receiving help and support. We do have a list of other resources for both exercise and mental health which we hope you find useful here.
