Hey Comrades,
With the current state of the world and general increase in negative feelings and emotions as a result of the current state of affairs, I wanted to start a community weekly vent post.
This will be for anything you need to talk about related to your mental health that is bothering you. If you feel overwhelmed, angry, scared, depressed, anxious, anything, write what you’re feeling and why below. Let’s use this as a place to help each other get through this awful shite.
Despite some setbacks on certain things I am feeling pretty good and optimistic really. Which is weird, because we are facing very hard times it seems. But the actions planned to counter the hard times are making me feel optimistic.
I also feel on a roll regarding social contacts and sympathy from others lately. It’s like whatever I’m doing has a good effect on people and they are starting to follow me, whereas I used to be a bit extreme for many. I hope I can keep them convinced of the cause I am having.
If anyone feels the need to talk, shoot me a message.
I also decided to focus more on lifting and fitness for a while. I quit drinking three weeks ago to get to my goal quicker and it has some nice side effects. I didn’t drink that much to be honest, mostly on the weekends and even then not that much, but I sleep better most weekends now. Which has effects on my general wellbeing.
I weigh around 81kg right now and my goal is to go towards 90kg. Don’t know how long it will take, I don’t have a time in my head really.
That’s awesome! I recently started going to the gym, greatly improving the intensity of my exercise. I feel great for a significant time afterwards.
Good luck in your journey! I am about 210lbs (~95kg) and I am looking to just cut the excess fat I gained after this last year of mental struggle. I naturally have a good amount of muscle it seems so if I can achieve that I should look, feel, and be very healthy!
