Will lifting weights help me with my depression?

It's quite interesting seeing yourself become a meme, not sure who posted me but there's no such thing as bad publicity.

P.S no shit that hair style is too long, was playing around :) Think it was around 5 inches long.

unironically I'm 6ft 6 and heaving off to a date.
P.S that Leather Jacket is a Jasper leather jacket from All saints :)

P.P.S I know I'm skinny asf, I'm working out. Give me 3 years boys. Adiyos off to a date.

The serotonin theory of depression is wrong

Serotonin balances the dopaminergic system. They're correlative and proven effective.

After years of therapy and SSRIs that don't work the only things that help with my depression are good nutrition, exercise, meditation, and vitamin D supplements. Meditation and vitamin D broke my long depression, nutrition and exercise help keep it away.

how do I into meditation bro I want off this ride so bad

haha

Yes it will but don't expect immediate effects. You'll become happier and more confident when you start putting some muscle on. But that could take a while.

Look for guided mindfulness meditations to start. There are free youtube videos or apps like Insight Timer and 10% Happier which both have free selections. Mindfullness is easy to pick up and learn and very helpful. Zen practice is really nice too but more confusing for a beginner because new practitioners tend to overcomplicate Zen.

You think it will fill the hole, but it ends up being another hole to fill.

However it keeps you in motion and makes you a better you so yeah go for it.

PS,

>PEA (beta-phenylethylamine)
That was coming up as "erratic", so it's plausibly helpful taking antioxidants with that.

E.g.,
>it prevents the neurotransmitters from being reabsorbed by neurons, meaning they stay in the spaces between neurons (synapses) longer and there has more time to exert their effects

>>is classified as an excitatory neurotransmitter replete with its own receptors and a chemical structure similar to amphetamines
Seems really neat, but it's also available (metabolized) from food; and L-DOPA and 5-HTP are already really great.

What's seeming more interesting is overall energy levels (combinations/ratios of B3s and other vitamins; how minimizable specific minerals are; etc.). E.g., nicotinamide seems best in small amounts; ribose is a sugar, so that's obviously up to min-maxing; and niacin seems OK and helpful in larger amounts, such as 1g. Another example is how small satisfactory doses of vitamin C are.

Today was my first day of lifting, hope i can continue, wish me luck anons!

Please be real

>Be me about 4 months ago:
>Sitting in room all day, almost never go out
>Haven't talked to a girl in years other than grocery store girl
>Have really bad depression and be really out of shape
>Decide one day that I want to start going to the gym and work out
>After around 2 months start getting somewhat average looking and my confidence starts going up, after 3 months of working out I start looking good
>I'm going out every couple of days now and meeting people and stopped caring so much
>Overall more happy and feeling alive again...working out saved my life

Im a month into a same type thing. Not seeing ups yet but you give me hope. Thanks user Imma keep at it

You two are gonna make it. The thing in OP's pic is never going to make it tho

I can attest to this. Working out will help you sleep as well so you won't spend ages lying in bed whilst your mind races with thoughts of anxiety and depression. You will feel better about yourself and think much clearer. A good diet only helps add to the euphoria that you are doing something positive with your body.

You sound like me about 5 or 6 years ago. Keep going brah.

I really want to prove it, but I'd rather not right now.

I can tell you however, that some fucka stole the images from male hair advice on reddit and then posted on here. So there's also an IMGUR link.

Also, I tried dating a muslim as a white guy, never again.

You sound and look like a bitch. If you're not gay I'd be surprised.

>I tried dating a muslim as a white guy
So have I. She wore that hijab thing. She was no sex before marriage until we started having sex. Loved playing with my cum.

Um yeah because the way you look determines your gender preference, excellent.

Pretty sure you did not, because that would mean she considered marriage with you when as a strict Muslim, that aint happening son.

>Um yeah because the way you look determines your gender preference, excellent.
You have to go back. You look like a dick sucking alien
>because that would mean she considered marriage
Exactly. She talked about getting married all the time. I told her I would like to marry her (I lied, I was only 19 and wasn't interested in marriage) but couldn't marry someone before I had sex with them. After sex she stopped pushing so hard for marriage. After a couple of months I stopped talking to her as much. I did learn a lot about Islam though, she wanted me to convert. Stay mad faggot.

Prove that shit. Please just post a timestamp.

>P.S that Leather Jacket is a Jasper leather jacket from All saints :)
holy shit

Don't talk to me or my son ever again

Sorry can't be bothered. Btw if you look closely inbetween my eyebrows you might even see some monobrow strands.

Also, my pupils are just slightly different sizes.

if you depend entirely on it, it won't
