Anyone else still workout even though they wanna die?

[issyishere]

Lmao seems counter intuitive but still, I recently got back into bodybuilding again and changing my diet. Not even sure why, I guess its something to be distracted by somewhat instead of thinking about dying? anyone else in the same boat?

Definitely can relate. I was a fitness fanatic, performing Hitt workouts ranging from tough cycle lessons to sprinting, looking forward to 10k runs, having a deadlift PB of 200kg (4 reps). But when your mind isn't as sharp as before, you lose the edge and focus. Would look to go again only to get out the house to do a few push and pull exercises.

I do wish I could find the energy for that type of distraction. I am glad it is working for you ... has made me think about it at least.

Oh yeah I def relate I used to do it for the vanity reasons but now I just do it so Im so exhausted I can't think. I wish under different circumstances we were gym partners :/ Glad to know there's other former fitness fanatics here

To be honest every workout is the hardest thing I have to do. Forcing myself to get up and start walking 4 miles. After 2 miles in it gets a bit meditating and I zone out. By 4 miles I'm so tired I can't really give an F about anything. I mostly do it so I can't be in my own head as much. I hope it helps you the way it helps me.

Yep. I exercise daily, run, don't eat too much crap. This and wanting to die aren't mutually exclusive, I like a bit of paradox.

 

[NodusTollens]

I did. it broke up the monotony of the day. Well, until I got injured, now I just wish I could.

We'd be an interesting character to analyze that's for sure

Gratz on working out and being on a die!
In my case, I'm really lazy but somehow I started going out for walks and even running a bit. I'm not in shape at all but I'd like to CTB with a more "decent" body lol

"Live fast, die young, and leave a beautiful corpse" can't say that's not a damn respectable reason.

Yeah, going to the gym last year was probably the only thing I actually enjoyed. I was eating well, sleeping, and making gains. Was super close to hitting all my lifting goals and my confidence was getting better. Haven't gone since covid started though and all the gyms have closed. I don't have any money or space for a home gym either.

I havent seen the inside of a Gym since March. Some are open now, but I'm afraid.

I have this weird preconception that people who workout are the ones who contemplate suicide the least. I do some basic exercises bc I feel better off with then than without them, and it doesn't cost me much time and effort. Everything is done within the confines of my appartment.

 

[Phill]

I don't wanna die, but certainly I don't wanna workout too (even though I need a lot) lol.

 

[rilejj8288]

Depression would fuck up my muscle mass. Working out at least keeps some muscle

 

[stygal]

I recently started ...but just because my back hurts from sitting all day ...so if I wasn't working out I'd be feeling even worse :(
Don't really enjoy it tho, it's more like another weekly chore to do

I go to the gym or exercise at home.. Only thing I ever really loved.. Now I am doing some fasting along with it because I feel the trimmer I am the better to cbt with.

Same, when I'm going to hell I'll be hella fit

I try and walk every day, but with chronic 24/7 pain and the progressive loss of use of the right side of my body it makes it harder all the time.

The lifting protecc me against the emotional pain. I do basic strength stuff 3x3 and recently starting to throw in small bouts of cardio (since I need it for lifting). My biggest challenge is eating enough. I do make protein pancakes (50-60g) often but I am trying to get more calories (while somehow not gaining fat). You need energy for the test production and strength gain, but I obviously don't want to gain fat. It's about striking a balance or something.

Best is to consume a lot and burn a lot. I do the opposite basically, fml.

 

[summers]

Yeah, I work out almost daily. I actually think i would work out on the day I ctb.

 

[Rhaiyne]

Yeah... I do... I put earbuds in... music on and away I go... its relaxing for me... a distraction...

I think the only time I really get to enjoy music is working out. The quality you get from head/earphones is worlds better than listening in a car.

I try to do a bit of Switch RingFit Adventure when I have the energy and my legs aren't in too much pain. Which is to say, not that often
