I have been dealing with depression for over a year now and recently been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder. 

My depression has gotten worst I feel but I like to use an analogy of, "dark room with a flashlight". When I first realized I was dealing with depression, it was just a dark room and I did not know what I was doing. Now I have gained a self awareness with the depression and that's where I now have a flashlight. 

For example, a flashlight moment for me, is getting to the gym and lifting weights. Before, my depression kept me from doing so but now I can make it there a little bit more often. 

After my workouts though, I feel the need to breakdown and cry. I feel so empty and just wiped of everything. I don't know why this happens but it is a daily thing I experience after a workout. It is not everytime but a lot of the time it happens. 

I am curious to see if anyone has experienced this or has any tips or tricks to overcome this.
