Anyone else lift/sport/fitness to escape depression/loneliness?
I train boxing 5 days a week; sometimes twice a day in the morning and then the evening because I don't have any friends or a life and I get 4 days off work every week.
Today I'm at work with nothing to do but think and it's leading me to dark places; I realize in times like this I'd go running or go down the gym or do something. Without /fit/ness I think I'd probably an hero. Nothing else seems to distract me anymore.
Anyone here relate?

Maybe we're all trying to escape something.
Even that guy who looks really happy with all the expensive clothing and the expensive car; maybe he is trying to escape his feelings of inadequacy and self loathing by supplementing himself material goods to make his "value" worth more because he alone isn't good enough.

every person I've gotten to know on an intimate level has been struggling/fucked up in some way

My depression isn't bad at all anymore, but my general anxiety has been through the fucking roof. It's bad enough to where I usually have a hard time finishing a workout.
Anybody relate to this? What do about intense anxiety? I'd consider it being my T levels but I can still get pretty decent gains, beard, and I still am a horny sumbitch
