/Time/

Struggling to get out of a depression that felt more draining than any workout I've ever had before. I had no motivation for life at all and wanted to die. Just got back on track last week and have been hitting the gym proper and cutting because I was eating like shit since January.

Quit drugs drinking and smoking for the most part. Still recovering from a very traumatic event in January. First month couldn’t sleep, second month extreme paranoia, third month depression and suicide, fourth month now and I’m accepting it but it still haunts me everyday. At least i start a new job on Monday which I’m really excited about. Finally getting out of the house.

Got full custody of my kid, lost 10 more lbs of fat while maintaining lifts at 2/3/4/5, started getting lower ab definition, increased my running stamina to 4.5m at 6.6mph, added $15k to my savings, bought a ninth car, bagged one of my existing cars, started the process of shutting down the physical location of my business in order to go mobile and reduce overhead by $4k/mo, acquired a pretty hot FWB who makes almost as much as I do (hoping it goes somewhere but good ass regardless), acquired a few orbiters...

I think that's about it. It has been a pretty good year so far... definitely hit the ground running thanks to legwork I put in on all fronts last year.

>getting out of the house
You're going to make it

Fitness is more on track that it was but still ups and downs. Straight A’s all semester. Still have a gf. Still coming here for some reason.

Don't let it slip user. Get it handled, you already know what to do you have been doing it for a while, don't think about it, just do it, when you think about it excuses will arise.
Take care.

Had 3 dates and i traveled to another country, not bad for a year start.

Finished writing my dissertation
Completed and accepted PhD
Looking for a house to buy
Finally started tinder, actually talk to women in real life now
Finally going to the doctor to look some chronic issues I've been holding off

All in all not too bad. Still depressed, still gf less

Monk moding like I've never monk moded before.

What does meditating do for you and how do you achieve a meditative state

Finally got my skin operation (had a local infection for the last 6 years). Very happy it's gone. Published some papers.

Can't go to the gym for a couple of weeks. Resuming after everything's healed. Gains aren't lost as fast as they tell you.

Lost 30lbs since mid jan. 20 more to go.

We're all gonna make it bros

TICKING AWAY THE MOMENTS THAT MAKE UP A DULL DAY

FRITTER AND WASTE THE HOURS IN AN OFFHAND WAAAAAY

KICKING AROUND ON A PIECE OF GROUND IN YOUR HOMETOWN

WAITING FOR SOMEONE OR SOMETHING TO SHOW YOU THE WAAAAY

tired of lying in the sunshine
staying home to watch the rain

you are young and life is long
and there is time to kill today

and then one day you find
ten years have got behind you
no one told you when to run

YOU MISSED THE STARTING GUUUUN

AND YOU RUN AND YOU RUN TO CATCH UP WITH THE SUN BUT ITS SINKING

RACING AROUND TO COME UP BEHIND YOU AGAAAIN

THE SUN IS THE SAME IN A RELATIVE WAY BUT YOURE OLDER

SHORTER OF BREATH AND ONE DAY CLOSER TO DEATH

every year is getting shorter
never seem to find the time
plans that either come to naught
or half a page of scribbled lines
hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way
the time is gone
the song is over
thought id something more to saaaay

Went full monk for 4 months. It was hard at first, but I feel generally at peace now. It's good to get away from all the social bullshit we find ourselves in. We don't really need people as much as we think we do, and most people end up being disappointing anyways.

...You mean a 1/3rd right?

Started gym 2 months ago, bout to 1rep max 225 at the end of the month

Looking for new job, had phone interview Monday, verbal offer today, was supposed to get offer letter today but maybe they are reviewing and rewriting it.

Current job 53.5k
Verbal offer for 68k. Trying to stretch it to 70k.

I think I'm gonna make it bruvs.

Dude... you are a fool

Here’s my coat check numbers from the other night. Let’s practice. The numbers you see on top are four, one, zero, two. You can look up pronunciations on google, peasant

Shooting for M7? What are you doing now?

I LIKE TO BE HERE

WHILE I CAN

Went from being abstractly depressed to worldly depressed

I’ve been going to a Muay Thai gym several days a week, received new job promotion, moved into a new apartment, and only masturbate once every maybe three weeks. Make more food from home now instead of eating out. Things DO get better despite everything that’s against you

What's your PhD in?

AND WHEN I COME HOME COLD AND TIRED

ITS GOOD TO WARM MY BONES BESIDE THE FIRE

First two months were cool. I was improving my work life.

I got fired at the end of feb and have been moping around since. I literally can't get motivated to recover. I just feel so awful and depressed and I've literally wasted chances that fell at my feet because I "wasn't ready".

It makes me hyperventilate just thinking about it. I'm 24 for fuck sake. I had a dead end job and I even fucked that up.

>improving work life
>got fired
Doesnt sound like you improved anything

Working, exercising, and spring semester. Beyond that I pay bills and shit so I'm broke constantly, and I hate school. At least I'm not getting out of shape, so I have something going for me.

what kind of job only makes you do a phone interview before giving you an offer?

was just listening to this

I interned with them 3 summers ago. They remember me.

23 and going back to school to finish my degree (2-3 years). Don't know whether to live at home or look for living arrangements near the campus. Trying to figure out how I'm going to be able to work while I'm in school. I need a life dudes. I went from homeless drug addict to rehab to NEETing with parents for a short time to full-time dead end retail. The drugs fucked me up but my lifestyle isn't helping. I don't enjoy things and have no motivation to better myself other than to not disappoint family that's helped me back up. I have nothing but my parents and they know that, and pity me in return. I'm grateful, but fuck I don't know the best way to move forward with my life. Despair

My nigga. I'm getting my PhD in chemical engineering

I finish my chemical engineering degree in June and already have a six figure job set up at a mine.
Why would you go PhD?

Still rotting, still shitposting. Some things never change

Quit alcohol and drugs after nearly killing myself with it. Have lifted more than ever before and recently did a pull up for the first time in my life. I got a job I’ve wanted for years, doesn’t pay much but it’s better than the shit jobs I’ve had up until now. Also I’m getting a proper mental check up after years of being an outcast and a weirdo.

Feels sort of good man.
