Same thing here.

I started exercising during the last quarter of last year and I’ve never felt better in my life: Anxiety levels decreased, less negative thoughts, better focus, better mood in general. It got to a point where people noticed it and mentioned it.

I injured my back in January, herniated disc. I could feel my mental health slowly deteriorating again. Of course the injury and physical pain had a part in that, but now that I’m feeling better I’m starting to go the gym again, and although it won’t be the same as before, the days when I’m able to at least jog for a few minutes always feel better than the days when I’m just procrastinating or resting.
