K stupidest thing ever

that trainer that I’ve had that tiny crush on for like 2yrs was singing RHCP so I died a little inside…
Then he asked me to spot him on the bench so I died even more on the inside…
Then I got all manic and sent him a msg on instagram about how cool it was that Pablo Escobar brought in African hippos to Columbia and then after he died they were allowed to stay and now they’ve reproduced to the point where they’re a nuisance and I sent him this cool hippo video and ya… we talked throughout the day.

OH MY GUILTY CONSCIENCE, that was the closest I’ve ever come to cheating on someone, Lol. I felt awful inside
I even had a dream about it like he was over and marshall was going to come over and I was like oh my god this means nothing, nothing!!!

no motivation for cardio right now, bleh

I still feel horribly depressed, IDK what’s wrong with me. I feel I was meant to do more in this life than stand around for 7hrs a day saying welcome and avoiding eye contact. God complex, I dunno. Everyone probably feels like that and they are just sane enough to not really act on it.

So I did and then I could not sleep at all whatsoever
OKAY SO THAT’S WHY I GOT like TWO LESS REPS THAN I MAYBE SHOULDA COULDA
So whatever
im clearly going insane

Hang in there. This too shall pass. And keep reminding yourself that there are a whole lot of people out here rooting for you. (I almost said ‘…people out here pulling for you,’ but didn’t want you to get the mis-impression that hundreds of people around the world were DLing on your behalf.)

Feeling guilty about what???
Does the trainer have a tiny crush on you? You know, he might just be the medicine you need. Instead that loser.

I honestly feel like I have no idea how im going to survive my day back at that job…
I can make almost that same rate of pay working a f*king extreme pita without all the stress and sales goals and making huge mistakes that affect peoples lives…
I could work somewhere shitty and stress free and do distance courses online to feel better about myself and my life direction
I dunno
I guess I need to calm down, but that’s how I feel in this moment…

Hang in there. I don’t comment much but I stop by regularly and the one thing that stands out to me is that you keep going. That’s probably the single most important thing that you can do. It kept me just sane enough and functional (I’m a high functioning autistic, and been through depression a few times without medication because I was too stupid to do anything about it) to survive until things got better, and it’ll do the same for you. So yeah, keep at it. Head down and moving forward. Don’t be afraid of the medication either, it’ll take a while to figure out dosages/preferences etc but will help in the long run.

Practical advice: if you can make about the same money doing something less stressful, fucking go for it. That’s what I do. You have no idea how much better it will make your life. Your job is not who you are. YOU are who you are. Your job is just what you do to earn money so being who you are includes a home, food and things to make life a bit more pleasant.

This 100%. If you can structure your life so you can get by on earning less, even better. I worked in advertising for years and made great money but I absolutely hated every soul sucking day of it. Everything was a huge fucking 911 over crap that really doesn’t matter… at all to anyone. It wore me out to the point that I didn’t have energy to think about doing anything else. Fortunately, over time, I was able to reformat my life so I have fewer needs and a job that I mostly enjoy but doesn’t cause me stress and aggravation.

What you do to make a living isn’t who you are and doesn’t define you. Ultimately it’s meant to put food on the table and a roof over your head. I’ve had this conversation quite a bit recently with my children. I think we expect our jobs to fill too many rolls for us and it really doesn’t need to.

Oh man you guys, two wonderfully perfect posts that I really needed to hear. :heart_eyes::heart_eyes:

You’re both 100% right. We are so short staffed and sOoO busy and I hate hate hate these totally unrealistic, unachievable sales goals it makes me feel so dissatisfied and disappointed in myself on a daily basis, none of it feel worth it, truly.

K today was alirght, I can tell I need a rest day though. And I can’t go a single squat day without it clanking on the safety’s on one side, my low hip side I guess, I dunno. Or the squat racks are crooked. Easier to blame the squat racks than my body :sweat_smile:

No more squatting with safety’s RAGHHHHHH

This too shall pass…the fact that you are recognizing it is a step in the right direction. This is hard…but learn to laugh. Fuck just laugh hysterically at yourself sometimes…at the idiocy, the stupidity, the irrationality of it all…you need to be able to laugh at ourselves and the stupid shit we do and get worked up about.

Seems each time you are unable to rid yourself of this toxic relationship because you won’t feel whole or somehow incomplete without this other person is a sign of a dysfunctional relationship.
Is it actually love or just both being so dysfunctionally codependent on each other that keeps you going back for more punishment?
Hopefully you can figure out life,love,and career goals in your psychology visits.
