It won't make me feel any endorphins though, because my brain don't work right
Yep, I get no positive feelings from exercise. I do it to keep my blood pressure down and I fucking hate it. People say after a while it begins to feel good and you look forward to it and I want to punch all those people in the face. I started about 4 months ago and I've hated every day I've gone.
Exercise fucking sucks. I get hot and sweaty and feel like shit afterwards. The only positive emotion is a vague sense of relief that it's over when I'm finished.

I never got a runners high before 10k or so. But even then it's not a "high" it's a strong feeling of well being and the sense that I could keep going indefinitely.
Now that I don't jog so much the mood improvement I get from regular exercise is even more subtle, but I still feel it's significant.
Have you tried swimming? Hot and sweaty definitely won't be a problem there.
For the record though I also hate cardio. It's fine at levels which I can sustain for hours on end, that is, not jogging pace, definitely not interval training, but hiking pace. If you want interval training without grinding your brain field sports might be an option, it's different when you have teammates and a ball.
