I think I’m depressed but not sure why. I ran a half marathon a few months ago and since then have been feeling really off and unable to get back into running/exercising. It no longer excited me like it used to. I’ll convince myself to go to the gym, will get ready, push it off with chores around the house, then just get in bed and curl up. Is depression a thing after a big exercise related event? Can anyone relate/provide advice?

Yes, it is a thing, and I’ve struggled with it a lot off and on. I just did my first triathlon in years, and while it was supposed to be a warm up to start training for bigger races again, I’m really struggling right now. I actually fell out of training after a really big race in 2016, raced some in 2017, but not since. I don’t have much advice, because I’m struggling right now too, but I do try to avoid putting off workouts, and if I get them done in the morning it seems to go the best.

Yes exactly, I did the half marathon as a half way milestone for a marathon in October that I signed up for but now I think I am depressed/too out of running to do it. It’s helpful to know someone else has gone through this too. Thank you for sharing

Sounds like burnout. Or maybe after taking a break after the big race, dopamine levels that were really high for a long time suddenly dropped? I’ve used the supplement Sam-E for mood maintenance. That works or me

For example, I went outside of our account for a stretch role and had walked through the logic of that decision (the role is on a high visibility project that could lead to more work, it’s a role meant for someone two career levels above mine

Hi everyone! I am in a weird situation right now that I haven’t been in before and could really use some advice especially from women who might have faced or seen something similar. Long story short, I was brought into my current firm and promised that the work I want to do is within the team/solution they recruited me for and aligned me with in the system. However, once I started working on the project, it became very clear that I’m in the wrong team and on the wrong project (continued below)
