Does anyone here over train to the point of provoking post-workout depression? I didn't know this was possible until now.
It's a horrible fricking feeling I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. I had to down a whole bottle of wine just to not feel like shit.
How do you fight this shit whilst keeping up high workout volume?

It's called overtraining moron. If you want to stop training so hard/long then it's probably a good sign you don't need to.
At the risk of sounding like corny self improvement crap, I legitimately feel bad if I underperform any day.
>I legitimately feel bad if I underperform any day
Even more when I have to skip because of injury/illness
I get that feeling after every workout. What am I supposed to do, workout on the couch?
>post-workout depression
What?
yea, almost nobody knows what post-workout depression is because almost nobody exercises to the point of getting it. People don't like pain
>post-workout depression
The c**t simply didn't eat or drink enough before hand.
People who exercise that hard get rhabdo, not depression
It’s all connected, dude. I gave myself a chronic allergy called cholinergic urticaria. Basically, I broke out in hives every time I worked up a heavy sweat. It came on suddenly as an adult after a period where I was overtraining and had a lot of stress and resolved suddenly after about 5 years.
damn so a sauna would be a torture chamber for you?
Forgot to mention: I did indeed get depressed after I realized I couldn’t sweat without getting covered in hives.
I think I overtrain almost every day. The next day I can barely walk, I don't have any energy left. But the fact that I still barely lose any weight, angers me to no end.
your cns is fried if you can't fall asleep and keep slipping between almost falling asleep and your body kicking you back awake.
As long as it's not that you can keep going.
That was literally me after I ran 5 miles last night.
I thought the cat was being extra noisy, but I was super aware without the feeling of being forced awake that energy drinks bring.
What's the cure Doc
And I assume it goes away if I maintain this level of fitness?
>a 5 mile run gives me CNS fatigue
wtf is wrong with this board
a pathological need to find excuses to not do cardio.
I gave myself acute and chronic illness from over-training back in 2016. The acute illness took about 6 months to completely resolve and the chronic illness took about 5 years.

Just casually killing whatever gains he could had the previous week but whatever
could be T levels dipping, get tested anon
really this,
all this bullshit people make up could really just be explained easily and concretely with normal bloodwork. None of this 6 months of no gains and guesswork, just bite the bullet and pay the $60.
I get depressed in general from doing too much, going hard af is fun but makes me really tired all the time & sucks the enjoyment out of everything else in life. Since I got an injury and haven't worked out in a week I started enjoying the other things I use to.
For a lot of cardio sports that's known as bonking (hitting the wall), and I'm currently sitting at home bonked after a long day at the warehouse. I always go in fasted, but today kicked my ass. Rice/oatmeal helps, but protein definitely required to bounce back
