Ok he seems to be a dick at times, but that's just dumb. I've been in the gym 7 years and he clearly KNOWS his shit at least.
And to all the dicks in the forum: he may be a troll, but do you want to take the risk? If you still plan to be a dick, then you are clearly a sick sack of shit and should be the ones thinking about euthanasia, not the other way around. I think Voxide just redeemed himself though, lol.
Anyway, here's something to ponder: in addition to social anxiety, I am severely, dangerously unstable and psychotic and it is safest for everyone if I live like a hermit and tranquilized. My meds allow me a huge improvement: I can function at the lowest level, barely. I knocked up my gf and work to support my little family, scared all the time of losing a crappy job I hate, but need, as I am so unstable, just lucky so far I still have it. And I'm younger than you are. You reay aren't the worst off. I agree with Voxide on one thing. Only you can pull yourself out of this. I have big plans to improve the lives of me, my lady, and my little boy. Working out helps your confidence, all right... About 5%. It mostly is about you. I look like Stallone and sure, it makes you more attractive, but doesn't "get" the ladies. You have to, still. Given your sedentary lifestyle, I'd see a doc before even starting a workout regime and get a physical. Who knows the damage that lifestyle may have caused? I'd also check in with a psychiatrist, my meds really are saviours to me. There might be free support groups for anxiety. Lay off the wacky tobacky for a bit too. Some people find it provokes anxiety, but it's up to you to gauge your reaction. I've also noticed a lack of body hair on the pic, maybe low test? I would guess you might be undersexed, if not for the porn habit... Just think before you blame things on mental illness. Some of us can't really even go out if we want to. I've got a 138 iq, body like Stallone, big junk, and have a life completely screwed over by actions taken when psychotic that I barely or can't even remember. I'm bipolar and it ruined my life, already. I don't even want a happy life, dying at 40 or not, I'll settle for just a livable one. When, despite being willing and working like a dog at it, you know a happy life is not near attainable, you have a problem. I accept that and will work my hardest to set myself straight. You should do the same. Exercise, meds, social life, education are small potatoes if you truly aren't willing to heal yourself. And I've had so many suicide attempts I've lost count. I like posting like this because it helps get my mental inventory together.
And by the way, black metal is the SHIT. But I can't workout well to it. It demands time to itself to spend listening to it without distraction. Death is great for workouts. Kataklysm should be easy to get into, especially Prevail.
