In the short time I've been here, you've easily become one of my favorite posters.

Not because of your immense physical accomplishments or all of the cool stuff you do, but because you're such a good person. It sounds funny to say that being new, but I can just tell.

You have a lot more going going for you than a 675 lb. dead, I assure you.

I get depressed as fuck and so anxiety-afflicted that I cannot leave my house sometimes except to go to work and school. This is caused by (I THINK) mind-racing and endless worry over things that do not matter in the big picture. I don't really know what to tell you except that you must enjoy the good things in life when they happen to come by you (rare for me) and use the mental pain and suffering as a strengthener. I still haven't found a real answer, though. Maybe you need to re-evaluate things in your life and make some changes. Peace.

Dude, I can totally relate to that statement. I even have a hard time going to work. I just don't want to get out of bed lately. How do you concentrate feeling like that because I have a heck of a time.

That sounds like some good advice and hope things get better for you too dude.

Yeah, I am hurting pretty bad right now and have been for the whole summer and I don't know why. Sometimes it is hard to admit these things but there is always light at the end of the tunnel. It is just difficult to truck through the shit when it lasts so damned long and is really painful. A lot of the time I am going along in my life and think to myself that "if there is a god then he is punishing me constantly". That is a line from a pantera song, just to give credit to its source.

Peace and thank you for allowing me to voice myself.

Well since I know a little about pantera's lifestyle, phil might be on to something there. Maybe God really is.

No problem bro. And I will pray that God eases your depression too.

I guess that I am just a little sick and don't feel well. Have had a few small health problems over the past several years and the last time I had problems I lost about 30 pounds in only a couple of weeks. That fear really bothers me...a lot.

Sometimes the training is all that I really have in my life. When that is taken away from me, I don't know what I will do. I don't know what I will be worth even to myself. Lifting is all that I have been really good at for the past 9 years...and without it I just don't feel really important...

I hear you bro, I define so much of who I am by being a bodybuilder that I have no idea what would happen to me if I couldn't do it anymore. But all else failing you've got a great woman to stand behind you, that is what gets me through the tough times!

B...
if something can help you, to relax a bit... take a sort of vacation and then think what you can do and take steps to achieve it. Something that I admire from you is the dedication and enthusiasm you always put to achieve your goals... it may be now a hard moment, and sometimes when we have lots of things stressing us it is difficult to find a right away solution... however, taking a time to truly relax can give us a different perspective on how to approach things and solve them.

The newbies, think of them. You've brought joy to them in the world of weightlifting. Just look at all the responses you get when you're down. There's all kinds of sucess in life. Don't worry, be happy.

The break may do you good man.
