Gym and Depression

>>42719716
I was feeling down before I was lifting, but it went away when I started.
Sorry about your breakup.
Try reading a book on your off days.

Gf of 8 years left me, started gym just before she left to be in better shape ( she was qt 3.14)

now lift for myself, feel sad on days off or when I have bad sessions

its the endorphins bro, find another hobby. I started hiking and swimming

Testosterone and lifting cures it for me.

>>42719716
I know these feels anon
gf of 4 years left while i started uni
I thought i was gonna have a good time, im tall, good looking and fit but holy shit this has been a nightmare

Loneliness is a killer anon, but the pain fades away

The best way to get over a girl, is to get under another.

>>42721252
Oh i have tried, i had just started uni and i had a three year education to look forward to
That was three years ago and i havent had sex in two years

I dunno wtf is wrong, i cant find girls to save my life

>>42721234
OP here
I feel you bro, I've made no friends at uni and my old friends have drifted slowly away

On top of that I miss this girl like nothing else, but she's already moved on somehow, which hurts me more than the breakup.
I started being more active and health focused like 2 years ago when I met her, she was my motivation but now it's just an outlet for my anger and frustration.

I don't really care about myself that much anymore.

>she's already moved on somehow
Dont let this get to you, friend
Girls move on very quickly after a breakup because its so easy for them to find a new guy, i mean if you had tens of hungry girls chasing you wouldnt you move on fast after a relationship as well?

Girls want love, just like guys but they have alot of options in getting said love

>mfw cant get depressed after breakup because never had gf to begin with
>tfw 25 yo kissless virgin

deadlifting is only thing that makes me forget about shit i want to have but cant have

The gym is like an escape from the real world for sure. It definitely helps with depression. Gives you something to do and keeps your mind occupied so you're not sitting at home just overthinking and being bored. So having a full time job plus hitting the gym after is great. You wont have time to be depressed.

>>42721521
But so easily
Like Jesus Christ I can't even look at another girl yet after this breakup

It's like everything that ever existed between us never happened, I'm just some stranger.

First gf of mine moved on after 4 weeks or so, 5 years together
Second gf after one week, three years together

They move on fast because they can mate,i would too if i could

You should kill her and her new bf, with your bare hands.
Shirtless as well.

>>42719716
I should start going to the gym again so fucking bad

Breakup was 2 days ago, just standing in my apt reminds me of where she stood, cooking in my kitchen

My gym drive is inexistent currently

Made me chuckle

>>42721453
You need to forget about her girls can sense when you are hung up on someone else.

>>42722133
why cant we guys

>>42721678
You have to remember mate if she broke up with you she was thinking it for months before she did it, whatever her reasonings are she's a shitty person for not talking to you about it. At least now you know what she is like and just look for what you want in a relationship next time you get into one

>>42722181
>what you want in a relationship next time you get into one
>Implying there is a choice

Im dying to have options, like even a few options in dating
Face is good, height is 6'1'', fit and socially skilled but the girls are nowhere to be found

Wtf is wrong with the world?

I don't have many people to talk to and I look like a dyel skelly. I feel the same as you when I'm not working out. I don't see good progress, but the gym feels like my only outlet.

>>42722235
Are you me?
>"Jesus anon, with your body I'd already have had sex with 80% of this country"
>"You got the face, you got the muscles, why aren't you getting laid all the time?"
>"Man if you don't have sex it's because you don't want to"

Not a social butterfly, but not bad at socialising. Yet girls seem to look at me in disgust. Either a life of being fat has taken its toll or my friends are fucking with me

>>42719716
Im still depressed even after ive started lifting.
Being fucking weaker that most men who dont even go to the gym doesnt help.

>>42719716
this may seem like some reddit-tier shilling, but I recently got into taking kratom to stave off drug-induced depression and it boosted my mood and made me so fucking happy to the point where I can actually have pleasant conversations with coworkers and would sing along to the radio when driving 10/10 would recommend

>I think I need help.
most people on this fucking board need mental help, don't feel bad

>>42722345
I feel your pain bro
I dont have girls looking at me in disgust but i never meet any girls who display interest

atleast we got eachother, r-right?

>>42722546
right,breh

>tfw 24 and went through 2 universities and the best years of my life with none of the experiences others had
>tfw I was so dedicated to doing well that I sacrificed any social contact
>tfw these experiences are required in order to connect with people
>tfw unless I do something I will be alone forever

It's actually pretty crushing, I hate the weekend because I'm reminded of my loneliness, and I like the weekday because I'm busy with my job.

>>42722546
always breh

I usually just replace depression with anger desu
Works until you get those days where you absolutely crash
