Yesterday I advised somebody that physical activity is highly beneficial for mental health and can help more than medications would alone. The community did not like that. I am here again to remind you that physical activity is Paramount to mental well-being. Go out and garden. Take a walk in the park. Go for a jog, whatever it may be that gets you out of your current location and allows you to reflect and think.

    people who require medication don’t benefit from “wellness” practices

    Sure we do. Wellness practices AND medication. Pop your pill then go for a jog.

    But yeah, that reflection nonsense is nonsense. I’m not a fucking mirror and I don’t need alone time with my brain.

    Source: I’ve tried it both ways.

      people who require medication don’t benefit from “wellness” practices the same way as people who don’t require medication.

      My biggest pet peeve is when people half quote something and respond as if the other half the quote doesn’t exist.

          You literally omitted “in the same way” so that you could say “sure we do” like I said “we don’t at all”.

          So you’re being rather dishonest to suggest the part you omitted had no meaning.

            What do you mean by in the same way?

            I think we do benefit from it in the same way. Once the modification covers the gap.
