Has your mood changed since exercising.

Yes! When I'm running 20+ miles a week, my stress levels are way lower and I'm just generally happier. When I'm only running 10 miles a week or less (see: injuries or post-race season slump), I start to get really cranky and negative. Running is most definitely a necessary mood stabilizer for me!

I have noticed an extreme change in my moods due to exercise. Also, I sleep much better too. It is like my body punishes me with bad sleep if I don't workout.

Yep! I'm not as moody and just feel better in general. I'm finally getting to where I look forward to doing it and feel bad when I slack off.

Running 20 miles pheew just about walking g 4-5 miles.

Absolutely YES! I realized I feel psychologically unhappy if I don't workout every single day, because in the days when I don't workout I tend to binge, therefore I feel guilty and upset with myself. Working out makes me feel SO GOOD.

YES!! Exercising and losing weight has helped me immensely. I still have bad spells, but I have been able to get off of the 2 meds I hated taking worse than anything, both for anxiety and panic attacks.

Working out is the best medicine and drug

Right now? Dead tired!
Serously, I don't know. I enjoy being outside more, because I have more energy, because everything is easier, because I'm stronger and lighter. Because I spend more time outside, I feel more energized and relaxed as well. I also feel good about myself because I'm doing something positive, and that affects my confidence and mood.

Yes, and for the better!
