    I never heard of this before. Exercise is supposed to make your mood better, not worse.

    Are you taking any supplements or anything?

    Are you on any type of medication(s)?

    Yeah that’s what I thought too. I want to be looking forward to runners’ highs, not anticipating being in a terrible mood afterwards.

    I’m not taking any supplements, and no medications either. I consistently sleep 8+ hours a night too. I’m at a bit of a loss

    I would definitely consult with your doctor about this.

    How intensely are you working out?

    Maybe I will do.

    Not that intensely. I cycle at a comfortable pace, stop lots at traffic lights. When I run I don’t really push myself either I just go at a relatively comfortable pace too. I run 1-2 times a week, recently more often just once, and usually at the weekend when I don’t cycle.

    So doesn’t seem particularly intense. But maybe I’ll try cutting back a bit and see if it makes a difference.

    Maybe try a more intense run to get that runners high.

    Also, do you get enough carbs?
