Have any of you struggled with depression? Has lifting helped you lift away the feels?

Depression kicks in the hardest when you have nothing to keep you busy.
On days when I had nothing to do I would find it hard getting out of bed, even to eat.
Even if I had to go to work, I had something to look forward to so it wasn't hard getting up, sometimes. But I guess the thought of getting fired was enough who knows.
Lifting though gave me something to look forward to and a sense of accomplishment.
Plus it levels your hormone levels to the "right" amounts or something [citation needed].
Rest days were a little bad though. I wanted to be in the gym.
But I'm better now.
Mental health shouldn't be taken lightly. Take care of yourself Jow Forums

Lifting is basically what pulled me out of my hole I was in. I'd fucking recommend it to anyone

long story short I basically got stranded someplace by a girl that pulled me away from my friends in a new town and left me. I was at the point where I was missing basically 75% of my classes because I couldn't stand going out around other people or getting out of bed or trying to be social and after I started taking lifting seriously it really helped unJUST me

Get a routine put together and slam those weights my dude, nothing helps unfuck you more

I used to be skinny as shit but I'm working on getting bigger now. I know being a manlet won't actually ruin my life completely but being exposed to manlet bullying for so long has kinda made me believe its over if I'm short. I'm working on getting rid of those thought though

being short shouldn't hurt you like that unless you allow it to. Don't let the memes here get to you

>Depression kicks in the hardest when you have nothing to keep you busy.
This honestly. I've noticed that when I'm not doing anything I'm not capable of doing the most basic things. Lifting literally saved me

I struggle with depression.
I feel worse when I do not lift, but it doesn't cure the depression.
I think the source of my depression is my complete lack of direction in life.
No idea what I want to do. No motivating goals. Just keep showing up to the job that I hate because I have no objectives that take me in a more productive direction.
It's been this way for 6 years.

depression is real and fake faggots. its basically lack of dopamine, and if your life is shit, you are gonna have less dopamine. fuck anyone who tells you to take meds

also lifting is like cutting, it releases endorphins desu so will def help little bit

>Has lifting helped you lift away the feels?
It was like, the one thing that helped the most.

Yes and no. I have bipolar disorder. Lifting helps tremendously, but I also have to take a cocktail of mood stabilizers and antipsychotics that massively slow my metabolism. Still working out of dyel skinnyfat mode.

My moods are in constant fluctuation, and I'm seriously trying to lift as hard as I can before I hit another depressive episode and try to off myself. I'm worried that the good I'm feeling now is only the onset of my manic episode, and is thus fabricated by my mind and not my genuine efforts

If I don't make it, brahs, lift for me

Meds are fake as shit man, all they do is turn you into a zombie

Bullshit, you were on the wrong meds then. Meds have transformed me into a better person. Meds and therapy and lifts.

Cope harder you soulless zombie kek

I'm doing more than coping with shit these days. I'm living for once.

Wellbutrin + lifting turned my life around. I legit thought I'd kill myself just a few years ago and now I'm truly thankful for being alive

lifting did fuck all, sure it was nice in the beginning getting those noob gains etc, but once I stalled, or got injured, it just went straight back into depression, and after some time you realise that you aint gonna make it, cause on social media everyone is on roids, so that fueled my depression further, and now I just lift out of habit, sure I'm stronger than most gym goers but working manual labour it means I aint gonna get pass my plateu so it is just back to usual depression
manlet by the way, so no mires obviously and bitches still go for dyel lanklets, so it is all in vain basically

Man this is why Jow Forums tells you not to lift for women, lift for yourself. Those women will probably live miserable unfulfilling lives with those weak lanklet fucks. You gotta find fulfillment from within yourself

yes, I understand, but on the other hand you still crave the pussy, and you just not getting it, and no, the rule is still there, no fat chicks

There's more to life than sex but I understand what you mean man, repressing everything is hard

I've had sex, have pulled girls from bars etc, but once you turn 30, you will want a family etc, and as a manlet it is really hard to find that woman that looks up to you and wants to be by your side, this is something you cant cure with lifting, unless you're like world elite class strong, it is all dreams and shit in your 20s but shit changes in your 30s

Yes, running like a mile a day helped me.

As a manlet it's hard to find anyone that will look up to you.

Have you thought about moving to a manlet country or importing a womanlet wife from a third world country?

>doesn't

if you arent' at the gym just do light things/pushups, go for a walk, etc. treat rest days as do something days, just "not gym" days.

yes. helped with anxiety too. also stop drinking/drugging if you do. also stop watching porn. I recommend religion but that's obviously not for everyone

>10 mill dollars,100 pussies, and arnold’s body
It won't "cure" the depression man. Though I agree that it's more like a state than disease.

Not watching porn anymore helped me a lot as well

Based if true

Came here to post this. Glad it already was.

Staying alive is enough sometimes man, just keep going and don't give up
