Therapy: useless>hello doc I was molested for 3 years as a kid, loneliness is crushing, my parent was abusive, my ex used to threaten to kill herself and hit me, my heart starts racing if someone closes a door too forcefully near me>Hmm. *writes notes* How does that make you feel :)>IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE SHIT WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT >Hmm okay see you next week :)Venting to someone anonymously: uselessTalking to a friend: helps a little but people have a limit (as they should) drugs/alcohol: temporary relief but you feel even worse when it's gone and have numbed your pleasure nodes so food and activities are less enjoyable for a while, also costs money that could be spent on clothes or games or foodworking out: feels like you're in direct battle with everything that bothers you. Requires leaving the house, being around people, get sunlight and fresh air. Skill you slowly progress at. Increases metabolism and you're permanently less fat even if you eat like shit. Put your demons into the bar and then hoist it off the ground and smash it back into the floor. Relief like with drugs except your brain starts feeling better day to day instead of worse. Posture and body language changes to be more confident subconsciously.
I dont do as much exercise as i should but i do love it.Feels like something worthwhile AND it actually makes you feel better afterwards

>>42176070talking to a therapist should feel like a friend without a limit.i'm only talking theoretically because most are fucking assholes or retards or most likely both.HOWEVER, it should function through a relationship (and there's different ways to view that relationship but fundamentally it is a relationship).
>>42176070based
>>42176070This is literally meIf I stop working out for long enough I get suicidal but once I go back everything in life is possible
>>42178224Same. Like clockwork the suicidal ideation creeps back in if I stop for too long. 4 to 7 days a week keeps me sane.
>>42176070Based Quiet Riot poster. I wonder if it’s at all likely that the increase in frequency of mental health issues in the first world has anything to do with how little exercise is required for the modern lifestyle.
>>42179413It could be a factor. I try not to be all depression/anxiety isn't real bro just get exercise but it's true for at least some people. Idk what the answer to all of it is.
