Who /depressed/ here?
I've been depressed my whole life and ever since I started lifting I got addicted to it because it makes me feel sane. I hate rest days because I feel like shit when I don't lift.
Does lifting help your depression?
Lifting is the only thing I do for myself. I used to consider gaming fun and great but its more of a way to waste time after a day of work/school. Tfw putting a heavier weight on the bar weekly, or getting that new measurement I wanted makes me smile all day. I personally give very little shits of even how people perceive my gains since I'm slightly larger than the average normie. The inspiration of 'making it' and becoming an alpha is really the only thing that gets me out of bed.
>don't worry familia we gonna make it
And I too hate rest days. But it fucks with your reps the next day trust. I'm tryna fit an ab day somewhere so I can keep busy.

I just run for 10 miles when I don't do my lifts.
Except when the day before was leg day.
Then I run 5 miles.

Me to a tee. I used to just be depressed and get over it and let it come in waves, but lifting keeps me together these days. I can't stand rest days because I sit around and sulk until it's time for work.

Fuck man, the feels. I laugh a lot when I'm around my friends, because I feel that they wouldn't hang out with me if I weren't so cheerful with them.
Then I come home, browse /fit/ and cry myself to sleep.
Then I wake up and go to gym.
why does depression exist ._.

When I look back, there were definitely times that I had symptoms typical of depression. Never diagnosed with it, super surprised that nobody around me noticed it.
I sure as hell could see it in a mate of mine and told him so.
For me, it came, then it went, then it came back years later when I was in a rut. I got fixed by soldiering through. I highly recommend physical exercise to combat the symptoms, but you need to do more than that, you need to transform yourself. Change something about yourself, lad.
I'm thinking about getting back on an SSRI

because you touch yourself at night thinking about men and it is suppressed shame and guilt over your obvious faggy tendencies
Not bullying, but have you guys considered therapy? It helps

i dont have any specific problem that i shouldn't be able to get over myself. some days i just get depressed for no reason. i have really high personal standards that i absolutely will not debase for anything because they are what makes me me. no matter how sad i get i won't give up myself.
I can't say that I am depressed but I recently noticed that I haven't been happy for years. For like 4-5 years I have been pissed off most ofthe time and always waiting for the future and the "good times". I'm well off right now but still pissed and worrying.
>>35103046
I feel exactly the same, bro.

Dude I would suggest finishing college. I was flunking and straight up disappearing from classes because my depression was so bad but goddamn I got that fucking piece of paper saying I did shit for a few years. Make the loans worth it, even the tiniest bit. Get help after though. Good luck bro.
Been depressed my whole life. Probably more bipolar than anything but it's undiagnosed because I'd lose my security clearance if it were confirmed.
I've been on the edge of suicide so many times that I've become numb to it. About 2 years ago I finally decided that killing myself wasnt the answer and just strive to be a better person every day. Each day is a struggle but I'm 2 years strong.
It's kind of a weird feeling. I'm numb but I'm not sad anymore. Things are moving by in a blur and I don't even feel like it's me living my life anymore. Probably some dissociative identity disorder but who cares. All I know is I'm making gains in the gym, making good money, and am mostly content how I am.
I'm just afraid I'll wake up one day and realize that I wasted my whole life being numb to everything.
Iv been on a SNRI for about 4 years, just started working out the past year and it always makes me feel better, Im starting to cut down on my meds hopefuly off them soon
