I use the Irish method of coping: I'll put all my feeling over here, some distance away from me, and then one day I'll die.

The one thing I don't like about lifting is how fucking seriously everyone takes it. It's just a means to an end.

Many of us have nothing else, so the means become the end.

you make everything else in your life worth looking at instead of focusing on your depressive feelings

>Implying identity actually exists and people don't just believe in this shit to make themselves feel better
You are continually changing. The person you were yesterday is completely dead and will never exist again. You could completely replace every cell in your body and download yesterday's memories into it and it would "think" it was you. Identity is just a self protective mechanism.

being depressed/emotionally scarred is like sitting in a dark cave, hoping for light to reach you. life will seem so pointless and not worth it if you continue to do nothing - you need to get up and start improving your life in every single way.
for me, even something as simple as cleaning my car and house makes me feel so much better, like less clutter in my mind. the little things really make a big difference it's crazy. also I like to lay down, put on a video game stream or good music and try to consolidate my thoughts, try to figure out what issues i'm dealing with or feeling and work it out in my head. I would assume it's the same idea as meditation but more logical and relaxed to me
just my 2 cents. I've dealt with extreme trauma and PTSD and I almost ended it had I not just got through each day step by step. time has a really weird way of healing you

Not OP but I've been sexually abused by my former older male friend at a young age. How do i get over it? I feel powerless around other males. I'm a pretty handsome guys so when gay guys hit on me I kinda internally spaz out with a lil bit of homicidal ideation. Please help me.

Learn to "belly breathe" when the going gets tough and look into CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy), it'll help to help yourself without relying on a therapist
>>36288654
In the gym you should take it serious helps the hard work mindset
>>36288920
I have not been sexually abused so I don't know
>>36288920
Try fucking a guy.
No seriously try dominating a guy and see it that changes anything
