"Regardless of your performance, hope you still keep on cycling. Or jogging abit. Just for your own sheer pleasure. Otherwise, why do it?"
Clinical depression is a wee bit different than being overwhelmed by the thought of competition.
It's not just a gloomy day.
It's when you wake up in the morning, needing to pee, and have to actively decide whether to just wet the bed or get up and use the toilet. And getting up to use the toilet becomes the major activity of the day, requiring the kind of effort most folks use to complete a marathon.
Shtting Star, I'm very glad you've never experienced clinical depression.
(part of true depression is that there IS NO pleasure, in *anything*, so doing something for sheer pleasure is moot. Bummer, but that's the way it is.)
