Working out is the cure to anxiety and depression

You have no space in your head for those thoughts after a work out

That’s not what truly makes you happy. Using d**** to the point where you’d need rehab is dependence. That amount of prolong use comes from trying to avoid sober feelings.

It’s not easy at first to adapt to living sober but once you do and start to make real progress you will feel so much better

Therapy isn’t for everyone, I find talking about my problems over and over only makes them more prevelant in my mind

I’d recommend just being productive and building your life up. If you stay with it you’ll inevitably reach a point where you stop and realize your life is getting f***ing great.

I'm the coolest f***ing psychopath on planet earth

for me i dont rly use crazy d**** these days just weed and alcohol, being bipolar its very hard to be completely sober because i get these very intense emotions, like especially towards night sometimes i feel soo f***ing angry or sad for no reason

for the music s*** it helps to be manic because when im manic i easily come up with s*** i would never think of normally. alcohol helps to make that happen, weed helps to keep me from getting too manic while also adding to the kind of open headspace

i told my therapist is it better to always be a 5 out of 10 or to sometimes be a 2 out of 10 an other times be a 9 out of 10, like just talking about productivity or creativity or whatever, i said the latter is better cus when ur manic u do s*** u would never do normally

i think youre right that long term being sober would make me happier and more productive, but idk what that would really look like, like maybe id be more focused on s*** besides music and that kind of scares me

safe to say i have depression

turned 27 today. had some friends over to drink and hang out, but it really feels different this time.

I hate how I looked when a picture was taken of me I feel fat and useless.

my friends are interested in different things and so I’ve spent a lot of time doing my own thing that there is obvious distance between us now.

I usually want to post something on my birthday but I don’t really care anymore

I know it’s not a real problem

I think it is pretty common to have a lot of thoughts and feelings around the time of your birthday. Especially when you are getting older. You will be okay.

yeah for real, you start questioning a lot

Yeah, and some thoughts/feelings might only be your mind playing tricks on you. Dont make any big life decisions during this time, lol.

I appreciate you saying that, I woke up this morning, hungover. a lot of the time alcohol just makes me tired. it was tough trying to have fun but

just glad to have some people around, woke up with negative thoughts but they usually subside after a while these days

Sounds like you had a good night in the end and having people around you that you want to be around is the most important thing. Friends and family.

And fam, you are still young. Lots of life is still left. Make it count.

Happy birthday! We gonna be alright

thank you !

yeah we are

Happy birthday!

If you’re not feeling good about yourself the best solution is to make change.

Something like weight doesn’t have to be a burden for life

I’m on the opposite end of the spectrum I’ve always felt too skinny like I looked like a d*** addict or something (also turned 27 this month) so I’ve been starting to prioritize eating more and lifting weights

When I can I’d rather just lay in bed cause it’s the easiest thing to do but I know if I want to live a different life I gotta get my ass up, lift and make the changes I want for myself

S*** doesn’t happen overnight, I’m still very skinny but I can see a bit of the muscle growth. I’m in a better position today than I was a week ago and will be in a better position a month from now than I am now etc.It’s all about staying committed on the journey to a better life

Weekends keep heightening my depression to the point where I actually might prefer the weekdays

THE PAIN IS NEVERENDING

Work out

I heard this for a long time and thought it was bullshit but holy f*** it really works scientifically proven to increase your mood, reduce depression and anxiety and once you start to see the fruits of your labor it’s a confidence boost

Yeah I gotta get back on the grind. Fell off for a bit

i want to scream my entire lungs out

5am no sleep gang 🤪

oh yeah?

My pets are the only reason I'm still breathing

Work out

You’ll go to sleep very easy after

job hunting is making me depressed
