You'd be shocked, people like to roleplay being mentally ill on the internet instead of actually seeking help.
Are you not on any medication, do you not meet regularly with someone?

>do you not meet regularly with someone?

The last days have been a nothingburger, unfortunally. My ordered book still hasn't arrived, my father is still enjoying his holidays in Turkey, so I am stuck at home without any access to the gym next town and the dreaded feeling of feeling empty has returned. Tomorrow I'll visit my grandmother, maybe my mood will improve over there. Set the goal to ask her to teach me how to prepare Turkish tea, I'm going to report on the next /sig/ thread how that's going to work out.

Oh, forgot. My mother has started to teach me cooking. Still fucked up several times despite her orders, but at least I know the basics to prepare some dishes. And I currently progress at eating mord to escape my underweight physique.

If you refer back to my first post and think for longer than "not at all" you can clearly see that I myself am schizophrenic and I'm wary about teenage retards online larping and wasting my God damn time.
Something that helped me immeasurably was caffeine pills. The largest legally available can of Red Bull has 160 mg, a single caffeine pill has 200 mg. I take 400 mg of caffeine every morning and consider myself moderately functioning.

For some reason the post didn't let me attach any images.

I think I achieved an ego death this week? How do I even tell

>>81864479 (OP)

>>81864709

>>81864797

>>81864865
Very simple dishes. 5 minute steaks on the pan, semolina porridge, noodles, noodle sauce, stuff like that

hello /sig/, I weighed myself for the first time in over a year and I am now 50 pounds lighter. I've been intentionally eating less and moving more since last year, but I've been afraid of stepping on the scale. I still have a long way to go, and I still hate myself(probably will until I die) but I am healthier than ever.

Hope you are all doing well anons. Go for a hike today if the weather permits.

>>81864885
Oh, and semolina Spaetzle. You probably never heard of it, not even popular outside the southern region here in Germany.

>>81864886
Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What did you weigh at your peak?

>>81864865
I'm not sure.
The past 18 months of my life have been very traumatic. I think I hit rock bottom on Tuesday and I no longer feel like I'm sleeping between days. My mind feels completely clear, refreshed, it's almost like I've achieved enlightenment. I am only ever me now.

>>81864928
Heaviest was 320lbs and right now im at 270, like I said I have much more to go.

>>81865045
That's crazy! But it sounds like it was overall positive? I heard once that enlightenment is only the first step, what will you do now?
>>81865158
>>81865158
I'm so proud of you!!!!!!!!!! :3
What made you want to lose the weight?

How do you guys handle feeling completely alone?

>>81865555
Whoa, nice quads!
Talking to people online helps :P we have a server if you wanna join, it's YZdKvYNG
I think being alone in 2025 is a luxury honestly. It's so hard to not live with people, if you're in a position where you can house yourself by yourself with no roommates or family I think by 2025 standards you have a unique kind of wealth.
I also like going to stores!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just being out in public looking at cool shit is cool

How I can stop doing drugs?, aderall, painkerlls, cocaine, you know the whole set of a american citizen first kit. I do it daily.

Hey OP. I'm on day 15 of nofap/semen retention. It has been easy and I feel great about it. I am usually very fit and do a lot of sports but this year has ben horrible, I lost my job, my apartment and my somewhat of a girlfriend. However tomorrow I have a job interview and this disaster has been a wake up call to work on my inner problems and to dedicate time to become the person I can be. So it might be better in the long run.

What prompt are you using for these images. They look neat.

Bumped my squat working set up to 135, but the volume is a bit much for my frequency. Testing whether I should go down in days/wk or weight. 3 days per week I saw a big jump in max (175lbs) going 5 days a week seems to Tucker me out unlike doing the same with deadlift which let me hit 3pl8 berry quickly.

I might do a hypertrophy side quest before continuing STR maxing
