Anybody lift while depressed?

how tho if depression makes you not want to do anything especially not things you find enjoyable like lifting

The lifting will improve your mental health. It's hard getting there but once you've got it done you won't regret it.

Or you can stay in bed like a faggot. That's for you to decide.

Just work out bro. It is a good activity to do while depressed because you can improve yourself every time you go to the gym. Instead of becoming physically worse each day you will be better.

Stop being a pussy

I deal with a seasonal affective type of thing. I have no diagnosis so I don't talk about it to anyone; I'm not a tumblrina seeking attention. Just act normal and try to find things that make you happy. Find things to look forward to. For me, the gym cheers me up exceptionally. When I'm lifting, I'm in my own personal haven where nothing matters except making it. We're all gonna make it, brah.

we're all gonna make it brah

and write diary as a cheap talk therapy replacement

anybody here seeing a therapist or whatever? any experiences

we're all gonna make it brah

do i need to train my mind to be able to do that

Taking a tip from Robert Jordan, I concentrate on a single burning flame in my mind, where I send all other thoughts and emotions to burn until only the void is left with the flame. All other feelings leave me, for I am with the iron, and one with the iron. I am the iron. It takes some getting used to, but you just have to focus.

Pick the weight up and then put it down
repeat as necessary

What?

Sorry you're going through a rough time man. I've recently fallen into a depression and also want to get back into lifting and healthy eating.

Right now I've been doodling motivational things and taping them around my room. It doesn't have to be extravagant, just like the words 'stand tall' by the mirror or 'strong, happy, & healthy'

I also have been making small weekly goals (like laundry, reading, walk outside, hang with friends, recipes to cook) and have been using my planner a lot more. It helps me check off things I'd like to do and then makes me happy that I accomplished something.

For me I woke up one day and was tired of being sad so I started small. I stayed after dinner and chit chatted with my new housemates and drank a couple brews. It was nice so I kept pushing it more and more and now I make small talk with nice strangers and smile more often.

Wishing you a nice journey ahead.

I keep lifting because I know that stopping will only make it worse. Plus a really great sesh fends off the clouds.

autistic stubbornness did it for me
strictly follow some weird guides from the internet, outcast yourself from the few social circles you have because "beer has too many kcals", get extremely few results anyway
realise the few results you got wont help you with women anyway because youre massively unsocial anyway
return to sloth-l4fe

I adjusted my schedule so I never had an excuse not to go. I keep all gym stuff in the car, and after work make myself go before I head home. That way when I finally get home I don't feel shitty about myself for vaping a quarter ounce and playing weeb games

never seen a therapist, but basically you are paying money to have someone listen to your bullshit

if you want emotionally support, get a women ( I highly recommend against that, since you will just waste your time) and if you want a solution, get a male therapist who isn't a beta faggot

with that said, you should fix your problems on your own through lifting/dieting/meditating/socializing; therapist should be your VERY last resort

thanks bro hope you get better too
don't want to sound like an asshole but i used to think people who say they are depressed are just bitching because how bad could it be

yeah...

i dont know man i think i feel more comfortable with a female therapist

for some reason i dont see myself telling a male irl that I get jealous as fuck when some random dumb girl flirts with me then with someone else

Well, you have to channel your depression into anger. Then you just lift angry.

I'm depressed as well but not on any antidepressants. I've tried avoiding them but I don't think I have much of a choice now. Are the gonna fuck up my gains or help me?

we're all gonna make it brah

>put hatebreed or gorilla biscuits in my ipod loud as fuck
>go in trying to murder someone so I actually dont beat the guy I hate
>sucessful work out

If I'm feeling sad I find that lifting helps me feel a little better.

Exercise releases lots of feel good chemicals.

we're all gonna make it brah

just picture yourself as god once you obtain a godly body and listen to really egotistical narcissistic songs that will give you a god complex. alternatively ill give you a question. Are you really weak enough to kill yourself/ let a little depression get in the way of your progress?

we're all gonna make it brah

i always put on too much weight while bench pressing so i can decapitate myself with the bar and make it look like an accident
So far i've broken my PRs every week but that's not my goal

i dunno man
