Has lifting helped your depression?

maybe a little, but not enough to make a difference

it helps, but isn't miraculous

It helped me making friends but it didn't give me confidence

Yes.
I don't think about killing myself as much as I did before.

it did at first but now after a year i start getting depressed during workouts and it's even stronger than it was before

You don't workout hard enough.

It helps a bit, but it's not a panacea.

I realized that once I started working there was no increase in my happiness levels.

At the end of the day it's still better to be a rich sad cunt than a poor sad cunt.

Same with being a fit cunt vs a dyel cunt

FYI: Feeling worthless and not experiencing joy are 2 different things.

I'm saying this from my own experience. Feeling worthless is NOT depression. It's your own fault. Yes, it is a harsh truth. You are feeling shit because you feel worthless and thus do nothing which further makes you feel shit. It's a vicious circle but you can brake out. Keep clinging on your career and you hopefully will be fine.

The other one is not experiencing joy. THIS is what I call depression. It kills you inside because of your experience that you should have fun doing certain things. But you don't. Then, in a tedious, seemingly unending you seek for a new recipe that brings back that feeling. Some people sadly stop looking for it. Please keep searching. Please dont kill yourself. You make your closest ones (you have one, stop fooling yourself) feel so much pain. Try out everything, doesnt matter if physically or mental. And keep talking about your experience. Please.

Yes, this is a rant. I hate it. People describing themselves as depressed while actually just dicking around is what fuels my hate. People saying x helps puts you under pressure due to the expectations. You have to find the way out. But please dont stop.

Good luck from my heart to the depressed ones.

Yeah I guess. It's easier to manage when you don't have the added burden of a shitty life in general.

>>41155013
I'd say so, I feel happier with myself and my mind is less cluttered with useless thoughts

>>41155013
No, but believing it would is actually the reason I started lifting.

This. Things aren't as bad as they were, but it's still not great.
