Losing it

its cliche to say, but it really does mean a lot to me that you guys are willing enough to sit down in this thread. Nobody in my life would do the same. I need to find people like that

You might be surprised user. It's tough to open up but most lads will listen and try to help.

There are no shortcuts, you need to keep going.

google for random bible quotes or quotes in general. they're 90% garbage but the diamonds are worth the effort

this. thank you. genuinely, thank you.

or *DuckDuckGo

op here. I have tried to adopt a new mentality for everyday life. I act like the world is a simulation or a game which doesn't matter. To a certain extent I actually believe this. Most things that I take chances on have little to no repercussions. What are Jow Forumss thoughts on this?

I can see what you're going for, but going through life like nothing matters is grim.
Put some effort in because it does matter. The big secret is that, most of the time, a little effort is more than enough.

when i say nothing matters, it is more of a way to free myself from expectations, societal rules, that sort of thing. I still have my goals, but I get in a state of despair every now and then.

Wish you the best user.

it never ends, the race never ends. You're on a journey, or about to go on one. At the end of the journey is death, a good death if you make it. There is nothing to life other than the journey and the fruits of said journey. You can create beautiful things or continue living in dismay and horror. Eat well, run like a hunter and train like a warrior. Sleep and care for your family. Or you will die waiting for death.

just came back after a long walk. This advice will stick in my mind forever. If you're still here, you have my greatest thanks and i wish you the best. Don't forget what you said to me and what you have done for me.

honestly i'm not one for tattoos, but that last phrase you said is something i want on my skin so i can see it every day. "or you will die waiting for death"

Lift less weight and change your program. I only lose motivation when I make it a numbers game with a flawed view on progressive overload thinking getting stronger = getting more muscle. Lift for hypertrophy bro, have fun doing reps, you don't need to fucking fail the rep and have the barbell land on your chest hurting you. Just go down a notch, you will still be getting jacked if you want you can add volume instead of intensity

I fucking love lifting, I have a ways to go to be a sick cunt if I even ever will make it, but goddamn is it bliss to be in the middle of a heavy lift. The entire time I'm at the gym I'm in the zone, I don't worry about anything else except the lift. Then that burn you get when you've finished, how it lasts long after you've left, it's so potent. Not being able to lift would be disheartening.
Maybe your lack of drive isn't necessarily about working out? Is something bothering you that much?
But then on the other hand, you have to ask yourself if you're actually enjoying it, cause not everyone does unfortunately and if you're forcing yourself to do it out of some half cocked obligation, of course you're going to hate it and feel like you need to force yourself to do it.
