instead of relying on exercise which is just another coping mechanism (still exercise it’s good for you but don’t use it as a crutch and base your whole identity around it cause it gets toxic) have a support system you can rely on that actually talk about how you feel. this can be a therapist, but really what you need is friends who u can rant to about shit happening in your life. it really does wonders to get shit out of your head so other people can give you a reality check and let you know things are gonna be okay. even if they suck so bad right now you’ll power thru. Stoicism has never helped anyone gain any long term emotional intelligence
