So i still have depression and im constantly bored, i feel like a loser who cant do anything right. I want to let my creativeness out, make something i can share with the world or family, but im probably dreaming too big. I cant stand being depressed and bored, it stinks, everyone tells me to work out but i lack the motivation to do so.

i usually just watch youtube all day while complaining to family members that have no idea what to do about me.

Running too. Almost every activity that makes you sweat can trigger the EMDR effect, and of course has a load of knock-on effects too

The key component of EDMR is bilateral asynchronous stimulation.

So not anything that makes you sweat can give you the benefits of EMDR. It must engage your left and right hemispheres over and over.

i.e. bench pressing will make you sweat, is in no way EMDR.
