I had CBT for a while but didn't really gain anything positive from it, it wasn't necessarily a negative experience either, it just felt like a waste of my time.

I find exercising a lot has had more benefits to my overall mental wellbeing than talking to anyone, "professional" or otherwise, ever has.

Maybe I could benefit from opening up to people more but it has never really lead to positive outcomes when I have tried it in the past so I'll stick to exercise especially kickboxing to "work through" issues.
