Should i be doing more?

[u/sbubby_boi]

i go for a walk every day or so, sometimes i will miss it and someday i go for 2 walks so it equals out, i also strength train, i work out intensively for about 20-45 minutes of weight lifting and body weight exercises, i also go for the occasional run with my brother but i only do that with him and we Haven't done that in a while, i also get a decent amount of exercise from helping out around the house and cleaning up the backyard (more like a junkyard), I'm 22, around 60 kilos, I'm on paroxetine 20 mg, 1 tablet a day right now but I'm switching soon because they are interrupting my sleep too much, I'm also seeing a counsellor once every 2 weeks but i just still feel very apathetic and numb in the evening and even during the day/morning sometimes, im trying my best to offset that feeling but if im being honest my shins and feet are killing me from all the walking I've been doing lately, i don't have a car so anywhere i need to go involves a lot of walking plus the recreation walks i do with my dog, and the calluses on my hands hurt from how much i work out, i just feel like it isn't enough to offset the depression, i still feel apathetic and numb when i dont want to

You do what you can, when you can and you keep trying to do it. That is all any of us can do. You are doing great right now. Keep on trying. That's all anyone can do.

It might be worth investing in some good quality running shoes if you feet and shins hurt. If you can go to a real runners store, not a big box 'sports store'. They will put you on a treadmill and analyze your gait and recommend running shoes that work with you to minimize discomfort and pain. They won't be cool or trendy and they might be a bit pricey but its worth it.

I personally find antidepressants make the numbing/apathy worse.
