>mental health is completely shit
I almost got into a fight with a stranger yesterday. What's wrong with me? I'm usually peaceful and mind my own business. It was when I was eating slop and drinking every day when my mental health was this bad and now that I've improved myself it seems my brain is back to its old ways. I don't have cravings for junk food or alcohol, and after a month I doubt it's withdrawal symptoms.
How do I fix myself?

That's normal because most people act like fucking faggots nowadays with low test.

So my testosterone dropped from lifting and eating right?

Body dysmorphia

The opposite. The society we live in is so fucked that any mentally sane person will go crazy. The reason most people don't go crazy is because they're literal cattle. If you continue this path at improving yourself you're going to start to resent people and the system we live in a lot more.

If you want to improve mental health, I suggest you leave 4chan and don't come back.

Then why are you still here? Hypocrite.

>>31541742
socializing is the other aspect you need. and not drinking buddies, because in the long run you will end up in a circle of flunkies as well as booze negatively impacting your mental health. join a rec league or a club that interests you.

for me cardio is more effective for improving mood

>>31541742
Lifting is one thing.

I recommend good sleep and spending some time in meditation sessions, 10-15 minutes each.

Anon, gym and health aren't pancea for your mental health. It does impact it and help - say it increases the average mental level and emotional capacity you have in your day to day. That doesn't mean you're never going to have days where life just takes a shit on you or life gets in your head. You still need to focus on things to meet your basic human needs... socialization, sex and love, security and shelter, yadda yadda. Your average days are better and more manageable - now use that to focus on your needs as a person so that your future dips that WILL happen won't be as bad

I eat healthy and workout but walking 1-2hrs daily made the most impact on my mental health
>>
>>31541751
Yeah.
I recommend lifting if someone's mental state is disastrous and they need to get their shit together fast. But for general mood regulation you gotta run or something.

Anon, it may shock you, but normal people experience varying emotions over a long period of time. You literally won't be happy all the time. That's how happiness works.

My advice? If you're upset, take some time and just work out why are you upset. Are you dissatisfied with a choice you made? Frustrated by a lack of progress? Talk it out, write it down, do whatever. That helps you take action. Just chalking it up to apathy or "vague dissatisfaction" or something out of your control is just giving up. You define the reality of your own existence.

lol this is tame for 4chan

I say this a lot on fit but
That is a weird pussy

>>31541742
Add meditation and cardio.
>>
>>31541755
That didn't work for me. Walking is just extra time to think suicidal thoughts.
>>
>>31541757
this.
i get up, i get down.
>>
>>31541742
lifting and eating it just one part and not the complete solution. You need goals and a purpose in life.
