Rest assured I've read the sticky and have it bookmarked.
Drunk 23 year old NEET here, no idea if there's any hope for me.
For years I've wanted to be fit, but the one thing stopping me is my autist tendencies. I just can't stop fucking thinking man, my head is always going a mile a minute. It's why I drink, it provides temporary relief.
But when I sober up, I always think about how good it would be to be in shape. Like I said, I've read the sticky, I've studied muscle groups and workout schedules.
I just can't slow my fucking head down. It's stopping me from being fit. I know, I fucking KNOW if I stop my mind from racing I can succeed. But I don't fucking know how.
Do any of you know what I'm talking about? If so, how the fuck do I center myself?

I think I can relate. It's kinda unclear exactly why your mind is preventing you from working out. Fear of judgment? Fear of failure? I'm guessing it's one or both of those two. Either way it sounds like you're making excuses for yourself not to work out. There is no try, only do. You either work out or you don't. Count back from 5 and when you get to 0, go to the gym and get a membership. Repeat this process for going to the gym. You will realize you're giving your thoughts way too much power. Less thinking, more doing. Shit works

The only time i've experienced what OP is describing is when I hadn't slept in 30 hours and my body was finally caving in and blacked out in my bed. I wake up and ry to get up, only to find every thought and action numbingly complex and frustrating. Like going to the bathroom required a 5k word essay and everything seemed so annoying and bothersome. The feeling wore off after I blacked out again and I got some proper rest.
So my only advice is sleep properly if you are not doing so already, 8 hours minimum. Other than that I cant help, sorry OP.

That's exactly what meditation is for. You have the most to benefit from it. It will seem impossible to not think. But you will eventually get moments of nothingness.

I'll give it a shot.
I'm just tired of being a fuckup. Intellectually I know I can do more, my own head is my worst goddamn enemy man. I don't fucking know.

Toldju dawg. Stop thinking. And stop drinking. Face up to who you actually are. Commit to change. Take steps. It's not complicated, and it's not easy. Above all, patience.

>Face up to who you actually are.
Well truthfully I fucking hate myself. If I can channel self-hatred into exercise I'm fucking set kek.
