Srsly though, lifting will give you confidence to some extent, which might help with anxiety, but its not a magic bullet. Some people find the routine and constant progression help with depression, but that isnr guaranteed. Still, if you havent got anything else on its worth a shot.

Lifting is cheap as shit, the only thing you really *need* is a gym membership. Supplements and aux equipment are optional extras, and the dietary changes will probably save you money if anything.

be lucky ur in australia. in canada min wage is 11.40 which is even less in australian dollars.

no. hate to say it but I've been lifting for about 5 months now and still am terrible in social situations and am just as depressed as ever. I think the only way to solve those problems is to have a major mental shift

Oh you're such a darling, flattered x

Well routine and structure tends to help with depression in the past for me, and confidence doesn't g astray.

Thank you for the input!

Would PT sessions be worth the investment?

Rip, eh

That's what I'm thinking is the likely outcome, but at least if I can get bitches on dick then I only have to cry when I'm alone

Nope, dont get a PT. its not theyre fault, but they HAVE to give you bad advice to keep their job.

Lifting, especially as a beginner, is very simple. 3-5 exercises, 3 times a week. Thats all you need. But imagine how youd feel if youd paid some guy £20 for that information - youd feel cheated. As a result, all PT routines are pointlessly complicated and overwrought bullshit designed to make you feel like youre getting value for money.

Just read the sticky to get a routine, and follow it - its dead easy. You can learn form from the internet if youre careful enough. If you're really unconfident you might find it useful to hire a PT for ONE session strictly to show you good form, but thats about it.

Good form is basically all I was thinking of. Thanks for the advice

Sticky time

You're welcome

If what you really want is to "get bitches on dick" then figure out how to not be poor and make more money. Doesn't matter how your body looks at all if you got that cash, bitches will flock from all over.

same height and was same weight when i was your age

at my "peak" when i was lifting hard and had a good routine (got up to 148lb in 5 months from 125) i did feel better, depression went away. then i got injured, lost gains/motivation and depression returned.

im at 133 trying to get back on gains train... just have to stick to it and EAT GOD DAMMIT

It will help your depression, exercising releases happy chemicals in your brain.
