Brilliant thread. Definitely agree with this, for the first good few years of taking drugs I wasn't considering exercise or diet at all. I was sure I had some form of anxiety/depression throughout my entire life and this alongside drugs especially uppers led to me getting to horrendously dark places. I began to look into other options, started going for the odd run, I train at a sport once a week for an hour and a half alongside instruct to build confidence/stop anxiety. This alongside swapping chocolate bars/shite for bananas, drinking lots more water and fruit juice has made a noticeable difference to my lifestyle.
However, at the same time I feel a Psilocin trip had a massive influence on my outlook in recent months and made me feel comfortable in my own shoes and happy to be myself. I find it difficult to portray that to people though, many see it as crazy drug nonsense, but who cares it was my own personal issues and if it worked for me I'll take that anyday over how I was before. Only thing is now I like to trip at least once a month to keep it up, but I'm not complaining.
It was things such as this trip that directed me towards this kind of lifestyle, although being realistic 2-3 days a week I'm guaranteed to be flat out not eating, drinking lots, consuming lots of drugs so sometimes the routine is hard to keep up. Also beginning to try and take an interest in things, such as pursuing my interest in computers much further (which is really interesting when you get down to the proper roots of it all) and socializing more with different people, smoking less weed (solely because it makes me anti social - still pretty much a daily toker though although maybe 5-6 days a week now just due to price). Getting a bit more routine in my life too also helped, my head was a complete mess when I was only able to get about 3-4 hours sleep. Now I can sleep properly I feel much better. Although I am dosing clonaz 1-2mg every few days be it for sleep or to chill and I know that it's having a good effect on my problems but at the same time could fuck me up.
I don't do much exercise, but a little makes a big difference and I like to walk everywhere. Just get a chin up bar, you get fast results combined with pull ups and it's using your own weight. Go for a run, come home and stretch to tone yourself up and that slow build up of physical appearance is a confidence boost in itself without much effort.
