I am glad to hear there’s light at the end of the tunnel, mate. Keep fighting the good fight.

well, i lost my girlfriend. oh well
i usually find a way to ruin things. I guess this was no exception. She either would have died at the hands of her parents or broken up with me. So, I’ll take the first option since she took the second.

Keep your head up king.
well then, you did a reasonable choice. keep on doing reasonable choices. good things don’t necessarily amass in abundance just because of it. but one day you look in the mirror and like what you see. same thing with being consistent in the gym.

Glad to hear it dude. It’s a brutal implement.
I think you may have cut that video the wrong way. Just looks like the set-up.

That was an awesome set. That hitch was quality.

thank you! i tried my best. it’s a lot easier to hitch with a barbell than with an axle.
Just wanted to throw in a comment based on a line I’ve seen you use a few times recently: “I have no friends, not anymore.”
For well-over a year, you’ve had dozens of people following you, supporting you, here for you, and doing what we can to listen and help. It hurts to see you say you have no friends, because … ::kumbaya hippie moment approaching:: … Internet friends are friends. (And I’m saying this as someone who works from home with zero face-to-face human interaction eight hours every day, also as someone who turned Internet friends into IRL friends that were guests at my wedding.)
Please just recognize that you have people around who care about you and your life, and something in those people would be broken if anything happened to you.

You guys are definitely my friends, but I still feel lonely and its very easy for me to think that I’m alone because, unfortunately, I don’t get to see you guys in real life. Thank you for helping me through my own issues. Your guys’ efforts are all appreciated, and I apologize for turning most threads into therapy sessions. I’ll keep it all to my log.
There are more, but I cannot recall their usernames. Thank you all.

Hey what about me
I stayed up all night for you

@Chris_Colucci could you do me a huge favor and ban my posts, or delete my account? I’m not planning on posting here again, and I don’t want what I’ve said on here so far to define me when I’m gone. I’d rather not have people dissecting what I’ve said, and for the reputation of the forums, I think it would be best if my account was removed. I don’t want to mar T-Nation. On the same note, though, thanks for helping me hang on for as long as I did. I appreciate you guys.

Hey man.
New here, so we don’t know each other, but I thought I would chime in becquse of some of your comments I have seen recently. I don’t know much of your back story, but I am going to give you some of my back story and see if you can relate. I went trough a lot a various forms of abuse as a kid from my step dad (dad left when I was 3) and my mom was heavily into drugs. I never really had many friends because my stepdad kept me isolated as a child and never really learned how to connect to others. In 28 years I can honestly say I have had maybe 5 friends and now I am down to maybe 3, including my wife. I tried to get away from my mom and my hometown during college because I thought that would help , but when I came back on break my mom and sister were barely making it and living in a house full of dog shit and fleas. After that I dropped out of school and joined the military to help financially. Depression came on and off and at times i thought i had beat it until it would just come back worse. A couple of years ago I got diagnosed with bipolar 1 with psychotic features and had to get hospitalized for two weeks. That’s when a lot of things started making sense and the right medicines started really helping everything. All the things I have been through have made me stronger and more independent. It may not seem like it now, but it does get better as you go. Let the things you’ve been through fuel you. Use that to drive you to make a better life for yourself. It took me a while, but I did it and am in a much better place now and I think you can too. Anyways, good luck.

Yo, how strong are you?
Not strong enough to make it through to the next week.
Hey man, what’s happening? Thought you moved out already?
