My life is still on pause so I'm not doing good and probably won't be for the next month or so. Most days I switch between feeling bad, frustrated, angry or sad. Sometimes I feel ok and calm but there's always a bad feeling in the background. On the positive side, I'm still meditating and going for walks almost every day. I exercised on Friday and I want to continue exercising regularly. I still have hope that things can improve starting from next year. The struggle continues.
I hope you're able to get into a regular exercise routine. I wouldn't say it helps me so much as if I don't do some physical activity several days a week, I go to a very very dark place. It's just about finding some way to get activity in that you actually enjoy - that doesn't feel like "work," or else it won't be sustainable imo, especially when everything seems harder than it should be and routine daily tasks seem insurmountable. So don't be discouraged if what you're doing isn't working, and don't be afraid to pivot and try something else. Team sports and things like that are great but maybe not an option these days unfortunately.

Thanks comrade! I agree, the key is to find something enjoyable. Luckily I'm an introvert so I don't mind exercising alone.
