So /fit/. I've been a fatass my whole life and pretty friendless at that. Got best friends during highschool but had a falling out the start of senior year. Long story short I haven't been at school since January (I'm turning 19 in less than a month) and prom happened yesterday, which I didn't get to attend. Not graduating either.
Does lifting really help with feeling not shit? I've been on anti-depressants for a month now, and been cutting. I don't know how to deal with this and just here wondering if there's any hope for me. Hold me, /fit/
Any sport will bring your self-confidence back and will make you feel better.
Give it a try!.

>cutting
cutting != dieting and/or just not being as much of a fatass, you worthless fuck
>>37267437
holy shit how about you focus on graduating high school
lifting weights isn't going to magically fix all your problems, and honestly you should prioritize making mental gains and your studies before you throw yourself at weightlifting
give yourself some breathing room, reassess yourself and your situation, buckle down and work hard

>Does lifting really help with feeling not shit?
Yes. At first (your first week or two) lifting will seem like pure hell and a fatass like you will come up with all sorts of excuses for yourself to skip the gym. Do not do it. Grit your fucking teeth and go lift, because the payoff is worth it.
Since I started lifting:
>my mood improved remarkably - I went from a perma-irritated cunt who snapped at people for no reason to a rather good-hearted, gregarious guy.
>my sleep improved considerably - I used to have insomnia and nightmares and woke up tired, now I see dreams that belong in sci-fi movies and spring out of bed feeling rested and happy.
>my immune system got a sky-high boost - in winter I used to constantly have a runny nose and catch colds left and right, while now I do not even remember when I last felt even remotely sick.
>the feeling of satisfaction never leaves me - every day you are at the gym, you are building a better you. That person in the mirror consistently looks better and better - healthier, stronger, more handsome.
And, of course, the endorphins. The feeling you get after a good workout cannot really be compared to anything. You feel like you levitate instead of walking, your muscles are ringing like tautly stretched guitar strings, and your head feels airy, with every thought clearer than a mountain spring.
Lifting will solve many of your problems, but you have to work hard for it. And by hard, I mean really fucking hard. Whenever you feel you are about to drop the weights and go home, think about all these countless miserable, fat slobs cheering at your failure.

Stop being an uptight edge lord OP.
Lose some weight, lift some weights, apologise to your friend.
If you act positive and friendly, people will be positive and friendly with you
(Pls note this only works if you're normal weight and attractiveness, else you'll just be another a creepy weirdo)

Sounds like you need to pull your head out of your ass.

anybody who hasn't bothered giving exercise and the great outdoors a chance shouldn't be prescribed anti-depressants.
here's an anti-depressant for you: run. it makes you feel great and takes a load off your mind.

You fucking retard. Fitness and looking good is secondary. As long as you're not about to die from severe obesity your academics are more important. Stop trying to make excuses. Idk how shit works in america but make sure you catch up on the school you missed, somehow.

Fucking exactly
I wish that people didn't only talk about the physical affects of lifting and exercise in general. The most gains I've seen by far are mental strength gains.
Really this comes from any kind of discipline, but lifting has the bonus of making you look p good naked
