post-gym depression

Post gym is the best feeling.
Rest days make me suicidal.

The gym is probably a power fulfillment fantasy, or the one time you feel in control. Then coming back to reality you remember the shit show life is

It's probably enzymatic. I used to get pretty anxious and angry after cardio, instead of the "zen" place most people feel in. I started using ritalin for cardio and slowly removing the ritalin while increasing the resistance to force myself into getting "addicted" to cardio.
That's however, because I have ADHD. I don't know if you have any other times when you feel sad or is it only after gym. Do you take pre-workouts?

t. someone who just started lifting. people who lift for more than a year leave this board and either make it, move onto r9k and post daily suicide threads or move onto other hobby boards.

personally i still leave the house without even thinking about it and half ass my workout then go home to shitpost on r9k

lifting over 4 years now, only here for the topkeks like the uranium bulking thread but you are pretty accurate only that im still loving every single workout and also give 110% everytime and yeah i also get fucking depressed after workout and on restdays i want to fucking kill myself all the time...

But i went on other boards tbqh.

The quality of a workout used to really determine whether I had a good day or not.

I would work out in the morning before work. If my lifts were on point, my weight went up, my form was tight and I finished the workout feeling strong, stable and without any undue aches or pains I'd feel like a fucking god for the rest of the day.
I'd go to work looking thicc and tight, hold my head up high, be confident and open with girls and just have a great time.

If however my workout went less than perfect, maybe an old form issue flared up, maybe I was tired and not concentrating, maybe I struggled with the weights I hit before... Anything at all really. That would mean for the rest of the day I would constantly obsess and turn over every little fault in my head compulsively and I'd be totally miserable. My confidence would be fucked. I'd sulk for an entire day just because of that workout.

Now I workout mid afternoon/early evening where possible because at least then, if it's not a good one, I don't have my whole day ahead of me to lament about it.

from a psychological standpoint you have developed your brain to the point where you "like" the emotional state you are in after the gym. It's the same with people who like to make recent personal negativity the topic of conversation with friends and family - they like complaining and enjoy negativity
