You dont want to die user, you want to live another life, or another kind, way, method of life.
Fight for that life, earn it. Accept there are things you can't change change, then change what you can.
Also, front squats + RDL are better than any other low body workout. Fite me.
Xavier Williams
Yes.
It can ifyou have body image issues.
The journey to that and making a hobby of it will help you overcome depression
Remember, exercise, healthy eating, sunlight and good sex are a far more potent mood elevator then every single drug on the market.
Nathan Diaz
I have fully embraced the "I lift heavy objects to fill my internal void meme". Don't think I'll ever be happy in this life, but working out and paying attention to my diet gives me something to do at least.
Samuel Adams

depends on why you are depressed
Alexander Nelson
Are you fucking retarded or just stupid? How the flying fuck is lifting going to help with body dysmorphia? There is no stop to the pursuit of perfection, it will never be attained. God.
OP, in my personal experience the only thing that helped me with my depression was figuring out why my life sucked and deciding to do something about it. Depression is your body's way of telling you that your life is not all it could be. You might have some undealt with painful emotions or your family might fucking suck or maybe you're just stuck in a dead end job and refuse to admit it to yourself.
Whatever it is that you won't let yourself think about is probably what is causing you this pain.
Think, write, reflect, and try to develop good habits. That, in my opinion and experience, is the best way to deal with depression.
Evan Parker
No, but at least you'll look great if you kys
Xavier Cooper
Hey man, you can be happy. It will require a fuck tonne of work and introspection but I believe you can do it. Everyone can turn their life around to something better.
Realize that there is no one whom can force you to do anything.
Realize that you are free to pursue anything your heart desires.
There are no guarantees of success but it is the pursuit that gives us purpose.
Why do you resign yourself to a life of emotional pain? Do not run from it. Embrace the pain. Let it tell you what is wrong and what you need to change for it to go away.
Cameron Perez
Thanks for the kind words. I think I have embraced the pain, looking outwards for help or solutions was never something I've done anyways. I'm just at a point where I'm burnt out of anything that I enjoyed once. I don't want this to turn into a blogpost but I have never had a significant other and at this point, I've been on Jow Forums for so long that whenever I see a cute girl I'll instantly assume that she's a slut. I just want a heart to heart human connection but in this day and age I feel like that's not possible anymore.
Thomas Lopez
Exercise is good for depression user, no jokes about it.
Also sunshine, fresh air, nature, being creative, feelings of accomplishment, being social, healthy sleep & diet.
Also Vitamin D and microdosing psychedelics.
Brandon Young
Exercise and training is a way to take control and help deal with those issues in a constructive way.
As long as you don't fall into the retarded bodybuilding/powerlifting thing too hard.
Also, all of the things I listed will help you deal with depressiion.
Soul searching is something that is needed to unravel the personal problems that may be or are at the heart of your dark days.
But the aforementioned activities will help with the pain tilll you can find the the problem that is keeping your wounds from healing.
Aiden Torres
I'm more depressed when I'm shredded because I feel like shit and my hormones are the toilet. Started bulking again a few weeks ago and my mood has improved so much.
Jose Gutierrez
Quit masturbatig and get up same time every day. Simple goals that will either bore you to death or inspire you.
Also me too, thanks
Nathan Rivera
How do you lads deal with total apathy, anhedonia, and a lack of direction/goals? Nothing seems or feels worthwhile.
>microdosing psychedelics
This has been interesting and a great relief in the moment, but doesn't seem to have any lasting effect that I can notice.
Ethan Bell
Hey, no problem. I want to help and if my kind word do that then I am all the happier for it.
Sounds like you need to cut off Jow Forums for a while. Man, there are some really toxic people on this platform and sometimes you just need to get off it and get a new perspective on things.
I also take it that you don't have a good connection to your parents. If all you crave is a good honest connection that just scream parental neglect to me. Might be something for you to look into. I might be wrong but that's my personal experience of it.
It's okay to make it into a blog post. Look at it this way, if you have all the knowledge about how to get fit but don't do it, the problem is not the lack of knowledge but the lack of motivation. Then your job needs to be what is holding you back. It can be learned behaviours or maybe you have a bad coping habit.
I'm getting a lot of self loathing from you. Don't know if its accurate but thata what I feel reading your texts. Self loathing, self doubt, and lack of hope.
I think you need to forgive yourself. I'm sure something has made you look to this toxic place for an out. Maybe someone here will understand you. Human connection can't be achieved over text. What you need is someone who'll look you in the eye and say "I want to know what's hurting inside of you". And by God that us difficult to get in this world.
I hope these incoherent ramblings help you some how.
Yes, I apologize. You do make a good point. I just had woken up. I probably was to harsh.
Jaxon Clark
I don't know if it will get rid of it, but it certainly will help you make it better.
Jacob Reyes
But it’s not alcohol

How do I stop being depressed when over night I lost all of my friends, the 2 girls I had easy pussy access to, and I’m now hated by everyone I used to love (except for family, and even them I disappoint to no end)?
Because there’s only 2 things in my mind. Killing myself, or killing the girl that all of this was over.
Cameron Wood
it depends on what your goals for getting shredded are. The structure and basic planning required will help a lot, routine is very important for managing depression. Regular exercise, regardless of what kind will also improve your health and reduce the chemical effects of depression.
Now if your trying to use getting ripped as a stepping stone for some more ephemeral goal, like landing a gf, you are going to be sorely disappointed and will backslide pretty damn fast.
Mason James
>should I look inward and fix what's broken with me?
>No, I think I should just direct my anger destructively towards myself and those around me
Yeah dude, go for a murder suicide, that will show them you're not a mentally unstable asshole who spouts /pol memes in public
Brandon Powell
try something beyond microdosing perhaps?
Took me four strong trips on different substances to wring the depression out of me, or maybe it just helped me change the way I process thoughts and feelings, great change all around
Dominic Russell
I’m venting user. I know I deserve this pain. Being alone means all I can do is self reflect. But god damn that Bitch deserves the worst of all this and she’s the only one leaving unscathed.
I’ll move past this one day I know but for now, shit posting is all I have.

There are no guarantees. Speaking from my own experience, lifting brought me out of the worst slump of my life and continues to be a pillar around which I build my sense of worth/fulfillment.
Mentally, lifting gives me a routine and sense of accomplishment, whilst simultaneously encouraging me to push myself and embrace my own potential. That sense of putting your mind to something and making it happen is anathema to the apathy and depression that had consumed my life.
No one ever really believed in me to be more than a nerd. But lifting has shown me that I can do other things, helped me to reclaim my masculinity, identity and purpose. More than that, it's helped me to build a sense of self-sufficiency. Helplessness and resignation were integral feelings to my own depression, which have been completely turned on their head.
Physically, it has enabled weightloss, encouraged dietary changes and just physically got me out of the house. It's much easier for me to make better dietary choices now on the basis of "my body needs x", rather than "I shouldn't have y". I look better, though I still have weight to lose. But, more importantly, I feel better. I stand straighter. I feel more comfortable in my own skin. And I don't mean that I strut around expecting mires; I just carry myself with some newly tapped reserve of contentment.
Even when other things go wrong in my life, the gym makes sense and helps me to remain grounded. I would still say that I have a way to go before becoming 'mentally healthy', but lifting has, in essence, been the skeleton around which I have rebuilt my life.
Alone, lifting won't fix things, but it might just feel like a fresh start and give you enough energy/will/courage to push out and make larger changes, like therapy or medication or family/friend support.
No promises, but it probably saved my life.

>You dont want to die user, you want to live another life
damn breh... that's deep. not being ironic, but you just gave a new way of looking at my own depression. thank you.
Evan Brooks
Accomplishing some of your life goals will help with depression.
You are probably depressed because you aren't living up to your own standards.
If you can make yourself a success (in your definition) you should feel better.
Failing that go to the doctor.
You can also talk to a priest in confessional about how you don't like yourself, assuming you don't go to the church he has no one to tell, not like they haven't heard it ALLLLL...
Hudson Gray
I’ve been doing this for 5 years and mog 95% of everyone. Literally nothing changes - actually, it does. Add body dysmorphia to whatever other problems you’re having
Leo Collins
It depends how you handle emotions.
If you eat when you become emotional and you're depressed, you'll have to deal with your depression before attempting to become shredded, because you will just end up yoyoing.
Blake Miller
>Because there’s only 2 things in my mind. Killing myself, or killing the girl that all of this was over.
Kys and then the girl.
I was depressed and broke down in November. Lots of free time to dwell on past social and personal failures mingled with recent professional failures and I couldn't take it anymore. Feeling better than I was last week, but the despair lingers.
I might seek therapy. For now I'm just reading a tonne and enjoying being alone. Work is going to be shit for the next little while.
Aaron Rodriguez
try nofap, after a month i literally turned into a bloomer, i was ready to conquer the world, found a girl and a good job, but i relapsed and im back where i started but with lot of money
Juan Johnson
just stop being depressed retard
Ian Bell
lifting, going back to college and one very weird mdma experience made my life a lot better
used to have anxiety all the time and was pretty depressed
David Robinson

Aiden Edwards
Start taking D3 and K2 supplements
Noah Reyes
Nofap is a gay meme. It's called not succumbing to your addictions. You feel better because your're no longer a slave to instantaneous gratification. Fapping isn't the issue, being weak willed is.
Christopher Thomas
>You dont want to die user, you want to live another life
Dude. Thank you
Kevin Flores
>tfw removed the mirror in my room so i wouldn't have to glimpse what i've become
Brandon Diaz
My depression is 50% loneliness and 50% anxiety related from work. I feel better when I do something that objectively helps me like studying or lifting. I also consciously tell myself to give less fucks. The depression will never go away but these things helps me.
Adrian Ortiz
For me, running is better than lifting. It's like literally running from your thoughts and problems.
Samuel Nelson
I hate the feeling of short breath / neck veins pumping, it actually hurts some times, does it ever go away?
Luis Davis
I have no idea OP. Daily order is good though.
Elijah Green
Yeah, if you jog enough. Also don't over exert yourself, start slow build yourself up.
Sometimes I see people, who've obviously don't jog, jump on a treadmill set it to max and tire themselves out in 30sec.
You need to build yourself up. Besides, I go for time not speed. I'm trying to escape my problems not run at the olympics.
Jose Stewart
lmao no nigger just wait until the quiet drive home from the gym on a friday night and that depression stares into your soul
Carson Rivera
who dis?

>you don't want to die, you want to live another life
This is actually unironically true and it's such a simple answer I can't believed that others nor I didn't realize it.
