Does anyone feel like they're being held down by their past? I mean I'm really trying but when I remember I had such shitty and empty child/teenage hood I get depressed for days, really harsh feeling brehs, anyone with similar experiences can help?
Absolutely but we've only got one life and you can't let the same shit happen again.

I know but I feel like no matter how how good I do in my next life stages, it will never bring my childhood back... i know its fucking stupid and weak but i cant handle it
I think I may be addicted to sex and it's starting to really fuck with my emotions. if a girl comes on to me I cant say no. basicly spent weeks telling a girl I would try and be good for her and then just fucked my ex behind her back because I couldn't say no. I'm not dating the girl but we had a thing and I feel guilty.

Those who live in the past are destined to be depressed. I fucked my teenage years up too man but we can't do shit about it. It's time for now.

Last bump c'mon this thread still has hope
STOP THINKING ABOUT it, Jesus how hard is this? The past is not real anymore it might as well have never happened. Learn from your mistakes and then erase it. All that matters is what you are doing RIGHT NOW all else is sophistry

>be me
>fat
>start lifting
>keep at it
>get mires
>mires piss me off
>you would never have looked at me this way before you filthy whore
Yeah I think it's safe to say I am getting held down by my past
I pretty much wasted away my entire 20s shut-in playing MMORPGS.
Granted I started lifting at 24, and I am 30 now, I still feel light-years behind other people my age in terms of other aspects of life.
Having 6+ years lifting under my belt and looking better than 99.99% of people my age helps get rid of the isolation/depression every now and then. Feels good when people envy me for my body, other than that, pretty miserable.

Yes bro, i had the shittest time through school felt worthless was depressed got into drugs i was a mess. Now i have trust issues with people but now i put myself first and dont give a fuck and things are great scored a good job travel often keep my friend circle small fucked off anyone negative. You just gotta try find the good in each day look for things to be thankful for.
No point dwelling on the past its done it cant be changed but you still have your whole life ahead of you start living as if it was your last day. Enjoy yourself, work to setting up a future you can enjoy seriously you can do anything, you got a blank canvas paint your picture how ever you want it to be. For me i want to be swoll and have a shit load of coin and have travelled the world and thats what I'm doing live your life you only for 1 of them make yourself happy.
Depression is a bitch but try focus on the good things its hard at first but with time it gets better

Also read the power of now
If you live in the past you're depressed if you live in the future you are anxious you have to live in the now
Think of the old shit you and the old shit life your leaving behind
Now hate people like that and ever being in that situation again with every ounce of your very being
Use that anger to fuel your self improvement

This. It's why even after losing my virginity and numerous one-night stands, I can't bring myself to get emotionally invested in a girl.
