Do you go to the gym?

[LifeSucks39]

Do you?

 

[marcusuk63]

never , or ever done any physical exercise in my life . I also live on sweet stuff and junk , take 3 heaped spoons of sugar in my coffee and smoke like a chimney, had a medical a few months back 100% fit , ffs ! lol

Not now, but used to, until the Corona lockdown happened. So I began working out at home. It helped me greatly with my depression.
Then the bitch who broke my heart 6 years ago, came back into my life to mess with my feelings again and make me suicidal like I never have been in my whole worthless life. Now I have no energy, mental or physical, to do any workout.

 

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

No after the injury. And it makes me feel suicidal when I see someone in sport clothes.

 

[Wisdom3_1-9]

I can barely get out of bed.

I never really went to the gym because I don't want to exercise around other people, but I used to run fairly regularly, either outside or on the treadmill. Even though I'm stuck at home during the pandemic, my treadmill is collecting dust right now.

 

[M0xyS]

No, this kind of place makes me anxious. People, judgment, etc. I do some exercises at home when I'm functional, which does not happens these days.

 

[DoNotLet2]

Used to before the coronavirus.

 

[CarbonMonoxide]

Yes I do. It helps a lot with my social anxiety disorder. I don't think I'd ever be able to leave the house if it wasn't for my two runs and gym visits a week. Lock down never happened in my country, just a night time curfew.

 

[sadworld]

I do exercises at home sometimes, i did them like 5 times a week for almost a year but right now its hard cause of my depression, i just tell myself "why should i do them if im gonna die anyway soon" which is such a stupid mind set and i hate it.

 

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

Let's be honest. Nowadays gyms are only used to take pics for Instagram.

 

[StateOfMind]

I used to be a professional urban acrobat so I had no need for the gym. But since I started studying that all went out the window.. used to have sixpack and everything now its just a beer belly lol. After studies I didn't resume training due life altering events and I feel my health is declining but don't really see the point in changing that because my goal is death lol.

 

[_Minsk]

i was a sport maniac and it was my life, then i had to quit due to chronic pain. its one of my main reasons for ctb, it gave my life meaning, since that day i never was the same again. fuck this life...

And it makes me feel suicidal when I see someone in sport clothes.

same!:(

 

[AlreadyGone]

OP, is there a reason why you post these off topic discussion threads in the suicide section?

 

[Wisdom3_1-9]

This resonates with me so much! I would like to get back to being fit and attractive. (I used to be not too long ago...) But then, I think, "why bother? I'll be dead soon." This just means I keep being unhealthy and I'm still living. Ugh.

 

[XYZ]

Do you?

 

[I screwed up too bad]

I used to love the gym before Coronavirus.

 

[Ramirez]

yees i was at the gym today for 2 hours. it destracted me a little but couple times i was thinking why bother imma be looking and smelling like shit soon anyway. not alot else to do tho beside drinking so why not.

 

[TheQ22]

I've got a really bad pain started in my left lung, it's getting worse and I woke up last night with my heart racing about 2.5 times faster tha normal - felt so bad it was like the bed was shaking.

God I hope I've got lung cancer. Will give it a few months before contacting doctor LoL.

How sad am I?

 

[BPD Barbie]

I used to, but I've completely let myself go and stopped caring.

Thats the problem, if you don't go for a while its soooooooo hard to motivate to go again. I trained for years, when i didn't trains still used to go to the sauna they had, just so i was still 'going'. Then i would get back into it. I imagine the covid thing has caused massive problems for many. It becomes a way of life, but unlike other addictions etc its easy to fall out of love with!!!!

 

[dundyfundy]

I used to but hated the time wasted traveling there and back home, getting ready etc. At least 1h wasted, could be your routine done.

Last year I setup a home gym for my routine, and add to it when needed - squat rack, bench press, loads of free weights, some cardio machines, pull up bar and dipping station etc.

The more effort you have to put in to get there, the more likely you won't go!!!!

I must admit it was probably 3hrs of my day gone, I was really into it and i used to go in the sauna and hydrotherapy pool after ,which i was in there for hours!!

Exactly, I liked doing it but having to go around certain hours, and back, and plan your nights around it was a nightmare.

Now at home I can workout any time though I mostly stick to evenings straight after work. But I save so much time, and it's much more comfortable not waiting for the equipment etc.

You see i had a routine get home from work ,STRAIGHT out to the gym, home,eat and then sleep. I used to eat really late, but this was ok for me! I liked having to make an effort to an extent but gym was like 10mins drive away!

You have to be dedicated to do the home thing aswell, it would be so easy to just chill instead! so it can work both ways. had loads of friends do home gyms and not bother. you have a decent set up by sound of things.

Oh the waiting for machine thing is bad, especially when someone has no clue(i know everyone has to learn). thats where i used to plan my workout(or try at least) so others weren't doing the same thing. I was pretty good at it 2. It is massively important to not have to long rest in-between exercises and reps or it WILL not have the desired effect. keeping that blood in the muscle and a pump on is key

 

[Wayfaerer]

I used to, a couple of months at a time spanned over years. I felt like "if I wasn't on medication and going through what I am specifically going through right now, I could totally see myself doing this no problem." Eventually, years later, I would reach that point but then things had gotten much worse in other ways. It's so frustrating god damn why can't I get any peace? I know I'd get way more shit done!

Out of the freezer and into the fryer and back into the freezer and back into the fryer with extra greese... And now I'm here on this board with a 100% chance of CTB.

On my 25th birthday, I quit my medication and endured the turbulence. Immediately I started again on weightlifting and dieting. By month three of regular lifting I felt invincible for a solid week, it was just as if I were on the SSRI except without the shitty side-effects. It was amazing! Then I decided to celebrate the end of the week with a little vodka and then hard crash. I maintained the dieting for many months onward all the way until summer of 2018 when things really started to go down hill FAST. Before that point, I had never felt better in my life except when I was just a little kid. It makes me wonder, what if I had gotten off my medication sooner?

 

[Pharmaruined]

Jogging helps my mood.. doesn't really help my sexual issues.. lifting helps a little bit. It's crazy, my body still looks muscular but my hormones are completely turned off.. although I recommend it to everybody that can handle it.. go slow. there is definitely an endorphin reaction that could turn some negative emotions into positive ones.. if u still have some fight in you
