Would you rather be depressed and fat or depressed and jacked?
No matter what you try to do, you'll be more respected doing it while lean
Not gonna lie, I would respect his decisions way more if he weren't a fricking whale.
Depressed, jacked, and excited to eat my soft plebbit neighbors post collapse America.
What are the macros on the average plebbitor?
10g protein
200g Carbs
80g fat
0.5g estrogen
Per serving
It's good advice, a lot of those things he really can't fix in the short term, the gym would offer and outlet.
The brainlets in this case is the redditor and OP
>wife
>money
>house
>friends
who cares about such insignificant stuff when you've got 20 inch arms
king
>flexes 'cep
I want you to make me your b***h.
Mashallah
Basado
I kneel
I wish I could think like this in my life unironically
Nice
People like that don't want to be saved. They enjoy wallowing in self-pity. Not everyone has made it, not everyone will make it. You either have the drive or you don't. Genetic dead ends, like yourself and that redditor, aren't worth persuading.
Then die
People like that, and people who mention that they’re suicidal/have been saved piss me off for some reason beyond contempt. I was watching some YouTube recap of a streamer reading a note about how he saved some suicidal morons life by making entertaining videos/streams and it just pissed me off some some reason. Like if the difference between you killing your self or not is some guy playing video games, you’re not suicidal you’re a lonely moronic fricking loser. I was filled with a primal urge to break his legs in 15 places with a crowbar
Lol cam down mr. edgy pants what’s your name? Shadow the hedgehog? LOL
No it’s coldsteel, frick you, you short nailed homosexual, Kevin
Yeah some people really do live trivial and trifling lives. But also sometimes there's something very insignificant that manages to change your entire perception and find enjoyment in life.
Like a nice album or movie. Sometimes a streamer can be that spark that gets you to finally smile after a long depression.
I used to feel that way. Then I realized I really wanted to break my own kneecaps for feeling how I felt. It had nothing to do with the other guy. Hope you're well anon WAGMI
Various aspects of our modern society have messed with the human reward and achievement chemistry within our brains.
>mandatory public education
>debt based economy
>sexual liberation resulting in a loveless society
>proliferation of drugs killing dopamine receptors permanently
And many other factors. People have difficulty adapting to a set of rules they weren't genetically hardcoded to withstand.
That said, there are a bunch of homosexuals these days making mountains out of molehills in an attempt to gain sympathy, or try to rationalize why they feel the way they feel. People have it too good, and need to create problems for themselves for no reason
The gym would legit help with this though. It gives you focus. It gives you a goal. It makes you healthier. It improves your confidence. It gives you structure.
This are all of the things you would lose if you lost your job, wife, house etc. It won't solve those problems, but it will help alleviate feeling negative.
Anyone who disagrees should just die now.
It's still unironically good advice. Even if you life is complete shit, physical exertion does stimulate a release of dopamine and does make you feel slightly better. Yeah it's not going to solve your very real problems, but it certainly helps to put you in a better, more optimistic frame of mind to attempt to fix things, since you now have at least some happy chemicals floating around preventing you from spiraling off the deep end and coming to the seemingly rational conclusion/solution of KYSing yourself. Personally I find cardio does the job better though. But perhaps lifting heavy will help expression assertive/dominance chemicals like testosterone making you feel like less of a helpless worthless b***h.
gym fixed me so it works
people keep telling me I have a problem because I use fitness to distract myself from my actual problems, yeah I got a fricking problem, I CAN STILL FIT THROUGH DOOR FRAMES
I hate "current year" gays. Fitness had always been a part of human culture, and as someone who's life is going downhill in all aspects but fitness, I can tell you going to the gym helps. Redditors need to die.
Fixed.
Obviously gym isn't a solution and end to all your problems, but it's a start
I too can guarantee you that this redditor, and likely most people who're depressed, haven't lost everything in their lives in some melodramatic tragedy and are probably just fat and lonely shut-ins
redditors want an endless pity party, but the most important thing for getting over hardship is to not dwell on how bad your situation is. Exercising helps pull you out of doom spiraling thought loops and into the physical world. I've spent a lot of my life depressed, and while going to the gym has never cured me, it has never made me worse. The depressed mind cynically focuses on how any one thing isn't going to fix you and uses that as an excuse to do nothing. It's true no one thing will fix you, but they can help you. Do not mistake depression's tunnel vision pessimism as being cold hard truth.
Good post.
Based. I tend to have these really negative thoughts about the gym too especially when work is tough. "You could sleep for an extra hour instead, why bother with this?" but I always feel better and stay on tempo when I get my sessions in.
Learning that you can have aspects of your life going badly without nuking everything is a really important lesson
Absolute truth spoken by someone that clearly stared back at the abyss. You are very wise anon kun
Those homosexuals love being miserable because it means they can complain about how miserable they are for sympathy while being able to refuse any suggestion of improvement with "muh depression".
Unironically great advice. Gym gives you something to wake up for in the morning. Dream of bigger lifts and a better body gives you hope for a brighter future. Gym instills a productive mindset. Gym keeps you moving which creates happy chemicals. I like gym.
>You don't lose everything without being a fricking idiot.
>Being fat lowers cognitive function
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Is not everyone gonna make it? These redditors and self pity gays don't seem like they will.
Also trips and OP gets castrated by Big Bladed Cutters
you should get a job first
then lift
didn't he take that meme from IST, it was made like a few weeks ago
go to gym.
cute
>the image that destroyed Plebbit
works on my machine
As always, re*dit has the worst takes on the internet. You can control precious little in this life, your body is one. Being happy in your skin is a huge aspect to having a good outlook in life. You could be fit, miserable but trying to improve your situation, or fat and even more miserable.
Then blow your fricking brains out homosexual
This is ironic because I just talked to an old guy this weekend who told me that his divorce and losing his house 8 years ago was the lowest point in his life and he said fitness was the only thing that kept him sane.
He said he would've roped if he let himself get fat.
You can be in a shit situation and depressed and still benefit from the high lifting provides to you every day
I know, I'm alive thanks to that only
Gym unironically saved me during my grand parents' deaths. Without an emotional outlet, I would have probably fed myself with burger king or other moronic shit.
Leddit wouldn't know that because they are hedonistic morons.
Making up scenarios to be angry at, pottery
why would we feel btfo'd about a hyperbolic cope meme?
0% chnace the homosexual who made that meme is a healthy weight
If a Redditor started venting to me about his problems I would call him a homosexual and literally just stand up and walk away.
It's true though, I feel good for like 2 hours past workout then I'm back to being depressed again
But you were not depressed in those two hours. So you only have to get through 14 waking hours depressed. And for those you find other stuff, even if each of them only takes you out of your misery for a short time, in the end it will paint a whole picture of improved mood and quality of life. So stop being a fricking doomer
>be guy who just lost all that shit
>go to gym
>be guy who just lost all that shit but is now slightly healthier and feeling slightly better
I fail to see how this is an argument against going to the gym
If you lost your wife, your house, AND your friends - then you are self sabotaging and need to get your shit together.
Going hermit mode and hitting the gym would legitimately help get your shit together
You're right, that's the perfect time to neglect your body.
Um, sweetie... pic related.
This has got me through life well so far.
I mean it's a valid point.
I used to be super out of shape and depressed . Then, I got into working out, eating right, trying to sleep bettee.
Now, I have abs and I'm depressed
A few years ago I lost my job. I had just moved out of my hometown and bought a house. I had no friends, a large portion of my savings tied up in a down payment, and an impending mortgage I didn't know how I was going to afford. Full time job was trying to find a job, sending out multiple applications a day (weekends too) and hearing nothing back.
If I didn't keep going to the gym, I would have probably given up and moved back home. But if I could still show up regularly, keep grinding and keep making progress, just show up and do the work, no matter how stressed I was or how shitty I felt, I knew I could handle it. Stress handled under intense exercise directly translates to being able to handle other stress in life. Gym doesn't just train physical strength, it builds mental strength as well.
This is true.
It's a rock, a truth of your own body that's always available even when nothing else is
>Christiantactics
>Posts Heracles, a pagan demigod
Christians really have absolutely nobody to look up to physically.
>I had no friends, a large portion of my savings tied up in a down payment, and an impending mortgage I didn't know how I was going to afford.
holy frick bro
I'm living in mom's basement trying to find a job and this is stressful. But a countdown to find something with essentially your net worth on the line? You got nerves of steel.
Reddit has always been and will always be about wallowing in self pity, and blaming others for your problems. Solutions are met with excuse making. It’s the literal biggest losers in life.
Financially, physically, emotionally, relationshiply, redditors are bottom barrel scum across the board
The gym is about discipline and self agency. It will never fit with Reddit culture. But hey, maybe Sanders will run again next election cycle to give them something to attach their existence to
>almost 2023
No it isn't, it's still 1992
>I lost my job
Probably because you have no motivation to get anything done because you are letting your body decay and you go home after sitting in a cubicle all day and eat doritos
>my wife
She’s probably fricking someone that works out
>my money
Is this the same as job, or did you lose money in stocks or something? Maybe if you made better decisions in your personal life i.e. working out, your financial decisions would improve as well
>my friends
Same as job, you were probably already a miserable person to be around because you have brain fog and eat slop and don’t move your body or get sunlight.
>my money
Probably all blown on funko pops now that I think about it
Gym unironically helps with everything you mentioned and that’s what the redditor doesnt understand
All those outcomes come from the same condition. Weakness. Excuse making. Lack of control over life.
Does gym magically fix those? No. Does becoming someone who can take ownership of their life, with a first step being regular pursuit of fitness, fix those? Yes.
All of the issues that squid redditor cried about are connected. But they aren’t looking for solutions. They are looking for validation. Until you have the strength to look critically at yourself and understand your faults you will never be able to improve
All i know is the gym allowed me to get over the worst days of a hard drug addiction. Im not perfect right now, but Im way better than where I was (pretty much in the depths of hell next to satan).
These people unironically think the actual solution is lexapro
Gym unironically saved me from depression
Between 2013 and 2015 I lost

>about to throw it all away to get ex back and eventually tell her she can be a stay at home wife so she will become dependent on me since it is what she has always wanted
I'm going on a date with her this weekend, 100% srs. Will probably end up divorced in 5 years and paying alimony since she will quit her job
You sound fat.
