there’s a difference between “just do a little yoga it will cure your depression forever :)” and “going for a run won’t solve your problems but it will make you feel a little better and that’s the first step” but this site seems to treat them as the same thing
Taking care of yourself is still good even if it won’t cure you. Cleaning my room won’t cure my anxiety or make me less lonely but it is a healthier environment to live in.
sometimes going for a run when you have depression is literally impossible (I know), but sometimes you can take smaller steps like going for a walk or stretching or doing some gentle exercises in your house (or even still in bed). sometimes you can’t clean your room, but you can put one shirt away, bring one glass to the sink, etc. they’re not a magical cure-all, but those baby steps help and they all add up
