For those of you that lift to help out with your depression,

I ran through depression man. Runners high is a literal drug. Go try it out

Don't drop out you fucking idiot, school will be all you have

What are you going to do when you can't even lift? Just sit at home and cry about it while you shitpost? No! I'm sorry it's shit what you're going through but don't make it worse for yourself baby

I would second this but I dont think he can run after ab surgery
Try to pick up a hobby to fill your time or study something you enjoy?
idk man, shit sucks. Best of luck

Running is a lot more difficult for me because I have a breathing problem. I have to be in ideal settings (sunny w/ low humidity, nobody around cutting grasses, low allergen count) for me to do so without almost having asthma attacks. And running on treadmills fucks up my form

If I dropped, it'd be for the semester, but you're right, I have no fucking clue what I'd do otherwise. If I could lift (which I probably could depending on the recommendation of the surgeons), I certainly would put everything I had into it for the time I'd take off, but if I can't, then I'm shit out of luck

Take up chess. Start going to a club and playing in tournaments. It helped me tremendously when I broke my foot and couldn't do anything. I'm getting better and now do chess tactics on my phone when testing between sets.

Just a suggestion.

Also, stick with your classes.

I had an injury a year ago and i could have paralyzed myself if i continued to lift (or run), but i could do stuff at home with resistance bands. And i could do bodyweight squats and curls with a super light DB. So i just did high rep shit at home for an hour and a half a day to wear myself out because that's the feel that kills the bad feels.

I might look into this. A number of activities are tricky for me at the moment because as it turns out, the abs are used for goddamn everything without you even knowing it, so walking upright is noticeably more effort than it was before.

I might consider this, though I admittedly don't really want to deal with other people in person at this point. I'm not one of those "tfw no gf, just want some human attention/affection/interaction" types of depressed people that swarm this board.

Fuck, I'm about to have this surgery soon too. Consultation next week. What did they tell you about the procedure and recovery times?

>>38470550
Unless you're having emergency surgery for Crohns impacted bowels, you're not having the same surgery. They just found the hernias while fixing my shit

You gotta make those mental gainz bruh. Go watch some Elliott Hulse philosophy videos while you recover.
