>tfw have mental health issues but country has no autism bux whatsoever (only for actual disabilities)

I don't do those kinds of normie things. Never had the desire to be anywhere besides where I am now and I hate being in places I'm unfamiliar with.

You see your body anon, isn't that enough? If you don't take personal pleasure from looking good just for the sake of it, then don't bother cutting. I don't have any mental disorders but our lives are pretty similar otherwise. Not even my immediate family has seen me shirtless since childhood but I still cut down to about 12%bf for the sake of admiring myself.

You're not questioning lifting as a whole, just being lean?

>>42078650
I get you, but I'm not sure if the caloric restriction getting down to 10% has been worth it at all.

I guess it's kind of interesting see myself in the mirror at a low bodyfat, especially with a pump, but other than that, I'm not sure.

Lifting is the only thing I do, so I can't see myself giving it up. Lifting at an empty gym at like 7:30 in the morning (when everyone else is getting ready for work) is the highlight of my day. Lifting is more "fun" at 15% bodyfat than it is at 10%.

It is interesting that if you read from the bottom up you can see why 99% of "Autism" happens.

If you can tell 1 from 0 then you have zero excuse to act like an autist

There you go then.

You need to do something to improve your life and maybe cutting down and looking good is a start.
For me I had no friends and never had a gf before all I did was go to work and come home to my parents place and play video games and being fit never even crossed my mind because eating was something I enjoyed I would eat a tray of candy for lunch every day.

>>42078680
What do you mean by lifting being more fun at 15% than 10%? Less stress over being lean, or do you just enjoy lifting heavier?

Not everyone's lifts and works towards the a goal physique for others. You can do it for yourself - if you like looking shredded and enjoy the journey then do it for you.

Anyone who lifts solely to impress others/get pussy tends not to get far. The land a girl and therefore have no reason to train anymore. You have to love lifting not just the results.

What?

I've been working with mental health professionals, nothing really works, there's no "cure" for SPD. There's no drugs for it, there's nothing for it. Been doing CBT off and on for years, it doesn't work for me at all. I'm not going to bother trying to explain my situation anymore detail than that because it's impossible to comprehend how I am in a few posts on the internet.

>>42078711
I guess the weight just moves faster, I can lift more, the pumps are better, doesn't take as long to recover between each set, etc.

Then don't bother cutting further than 15% if it makes lifting less fun. As you said a few posts on the internet can't sum up your situation in any kind of adequate detail, but one thing I know for sure is that everyone needs something they enjoy doing just for the sake of it. Hope shit will work out for in some way or another anon.
