Why is it no matter what I do or how hard I try to better I always just want to die? Really bad
Anyone else think about it a few times a day? Anyone used to feel this way but got over it? Does it get better?

Did I click r9k by accident again?
In general with my personal issues, I have really pesimistic days and really optimistic days.
Right now I'm pretty negative.
yea man
depression i can handle by anxiety is the worst
at least working out helps me stay sober
God damn... I get so fit for nothing. My girlfriend hates me and she makes me angry. I change so much for her but she never changes for me. Is this life always being adaptable while. Nobody adapts to you? Anyone know this feel?
To keep it /fit/:what's the most you've ever squatted?

Women are shallow and expect their man to be the best he can be, but they're unwilling to do anything and change themselves.
I herniated a disc over 2 YEARS ago trying to help a friend carry something way too heavy and he wasn't pulling his weight, and because I had a physical job the last year and a half, it's been hell.
I don't know why I kept the job (besides decent pay and benefits) because I think it's the sole reason the disc never healed.
I'm off the job, and sitting around all day, the pain and sciatica have returned (which left for a while but not completely).
I haven't bothered with MRI or surgery, but I've looked up my symptoms enough to know what's going on, roughly.
However, besides just back pain and sciatica, about a year ago I started noticing some erectile dysfunction as well as numbness in the urethra and anal sphincter... it's not total numbness, but sort of like the amount of feeling I used to have in both of these regions has essentially halved.
I looked at some scientific studies and it seems to be some kind of mild cauda equina syndrome, but not full blown like when people shit their pants or can't pee or whatever. It's very likely that what is going on now since it's been over a year is permanent nerve damage.
HOWEVER I wonder what the likelihood is for symptoms to WORSEN. I'm hoping if I double down on my efforts to keep the disc in place, never bend my back, AND never use chairs indefinitely if I can reverse things or at least never make things worse.
SO - since things are "relatively" extreme for me in terms of the usual symptoms of herniation, is it advisable for me to consider surgery, given what people say about full blown cauda equina, or should I just try to fix this all by myself, without injections, etc?
OP here - my doctor specifically told me to go to ER if I get numbness in feet/legs, or if I lose control of bladder/intestines... but until then, try to work it out
so yes i've seen my doctor about it several times as a side conversation to other reasons I came into the office
Talk to your doctor about going on Lyrica (for nerve damage/ pain) and Meloxicam (to help stop in inflammation)
I've had disc problems and sciatica for a few years now and those to drugs worked really well for me.
>>39708949
thanks, will consider
i really don't want to get surgery
>Could use some help on an interesting topic
Have you ever forgotten who you were? Basically lets say the person who you were at 25 is no longer the same person at 28, and at 28 you start to remember who you used to be at one time. Anyone else forgotten who they are as a person? I moved to another state, been here for over a year now, and my identity has changed so much I forgot who I really used to be /fit/ anyone feel the same?

Wow that's really interesting. You must have forgotten so much about yourself that you forgot that this board is for health and fitness-related topics.

how about being kind for once, and helping me out?
How can I get out of bed in the morning?
No matter what time I go to bed I absolutely cannot get out of bed. I'm almost always in bed from around 12am to 12pm but usually until 2pm or later.
Once I'm out of bed for a few minutes I'm good to go but I'm a completely different person in the morning no matter how many strategies I try or how much I tell myself I will change.
It's been like this for 3 years.
Anyone else experience this? Any supplements or drugs that gave you motivation in the morning?
Move your phone to the other side of the room and make your alarm loud and annoying as fuck. Also open up a window so the light comes in.
I'm the same way and I realized once I loved my phone I was good to go.
Also this might sound weird but if your bed is super high off he ground it might be worth trying a really low bed.
>>39708629
Get a better bed, use one of those alarms that wake you up when you are in a certain period of sleep.
Moved my phone. Not loved my phone.
Fucking iPhones man...
Injured elbow overdoing cycling in the summer (228lbs from 0-300 miles a week and got to 218lbs with a big muscle increase, particularly legs) and herniated a disc 2 months ago. I peaked 236lbs November @ 5'9 3/4. Disc is 90% better now, improving now I'm a back roller faggot.
I dropped 236 - 218 and stalled for almost 10 days despite a diet of fresh meat and vegetables with sriracha. 50calorie hot chocolates and the occasional piece of fruit and coffee, 3 scrambled eggs, eating raw carrots.
Today I hit 214lb and I can see my obliques and decided to pick up the free weights again. Don't get me wrong even as a 225lb fat fuck I could still manage 8 pull ups. It's just a reminder that I have the genetics that some of you guys who are in better shape don't have. I have no excuse. I was hoping for 200lb for xmas but 36lbs in 2 months without much exercise wasn't gonna be achievable. If I get 210lb for xmas I'll be happy.
I owe this new ability to self control myself to eat 1000 calories a day (not every day) if I want all to /fit.
My motivations has been to not turn into to one of you 260-300lbs fucks with tits. I respect you guys for posting those disgusting bodies of yours.

I have a herniated L5 and slightly herniated S1 which is also causing my sciatica.I also have a birth defect known as congentially shortened pedicles so my spine is more narrow than usual and now I have laterial + central stenosis on my L4 and L5.
WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO

Just walk it off bro.
We love water. I want to carry ice cold water with me everywhere so my thirst can always be quenched. What is the supreme overlord of portable water bottles? Recommend me.
Though I have a soft spot in my heart for lugging around simple gallon jugs from the convenience store, viable candidates must be free of estrogenic chemicals - ideally stainless steel or glass.
You want to discuss fucking water bottles? I got a plastic water bottle whilt working out. I know this one retard with a plastic bottle with "5%" on it. We make fun of him for paying more then 5 euros on a water bottle
Blender Bottle for everything, all day everyday. Easy to clean, never leaks, has a loop, strong, comes in large sizes that still fit cup holders. Never use the little metal whisking ball that comes with it though.

Is soup good or bad?
>>39708425
Sure as hell tasty

Depends on what you put in it doesnt it
Easy way to use leftover shit in your fridge, easy way to get meat, vegetables, and beans/lentils in your diet. Soup is great. Lots of sodium, though. Drink plenty of water to offset the sodium.

22. Fit, in college, but a home dweller due to not tons of money (I live with roommates)
Hi /fit/ I usually never come here and I have a question.
I read all the stickies and links and did a lot of my own research but I am retarded so please help.
Will I be able to meet all my nutritional needs with a nutritional supplement, one protein shake, and one balanced meal? It would add up to about 1500 calories a day.
A yes or no will suffice, thank you.
>>39708279
Maybe?
>>39708279
Yes, provided you're not retarded
>>39708279
1500 is pretty low, but you should be fine with that

does excess masturbation make you gay or something?
>>39708105
No its just when you fap so much to normal porn you start to need something more, something interesting, something like a big old cock on a beautiful young women
I had the opposite experience
longer I go, more perverse i get
>>39708105
>start nofap
Quit porn if you have to but there's no reason not to fap. It's fine an healthy for you.
>does excess masturbation make you gay or something?
No.
