Sure, exercise works to lessen depression and anxiety, but is it sustainable compared to other tools we can give clients?

Oh, and, based on the study I just did in my head, It would seem that bad science is more sustainable than good running. πŸ˜…

"Frankly, every single study we’ve ever R U N πŸ‘€ suggests that exercising is good for your health, physical and mental."

I guess some could call that a "pun run?"

It’s National Coming Out Day! 2 things to know. First, there is no β€œright” time to come out, and to do so should be your PERSONAL choice, not someone else’s decision. Second, it’s never too late! I came out in 2005, after living more than six decades largely in the closet. & I’ve never been happier.

You can't see the bruises here. They were hidden under the church clothes.
40yrs later, you won't see the wounds.

Most of us will never be found out. Especially on public forums. Until we make it ok for boys to be weak, to need help, to say, "the 'spankings' weren't just spankings."
