Reply to comment by electric_popcorn_cat in A single session of exercise or yoga and meditation has positive consequences for those hospitalized for depression by thebelsnickle1991

That's the exact reason I'm so grateful for my wife.

She's amazing at recognizing when I NEED to do something, even if I don't WANT to.
Sometimes she'll pack up hiking clothes, backpacks, boots and everything, and basically say "let's go, we're hiking now" and it always helps so much.

My dog was this for me. Depressed? Don't care. It's walk time.

Yeah, they say dogs are good for depression and cats are good for anxiety.

Doesn’t matter how down I feel, my dog needs to competitively pee where that other dog did. So I have to get up.

So grateful for our pets!
