I know that some people out there are suffering from mental illness. I
believe as a society we underestimate the number of people suffering.
Exercise is often used as a coping tool for mental illness. Those people
could be some of the most loving thoughtful people you will ever see. I have
spent thousands of hours using exercise as a coping tool for my illness. It
is not an easy life.
