What should I do hear I forgot to shoot up all last week and didnt lift a damn thing. Should I just pick right back up or call it quits? I think that I can mentally get back in it, but I'm not sure. Sorry I have'nt been around, I am trying to answer all my E-Mails. Make sure that you tell all your friends how much they mean to you. Mine friend was a life long buddy and was only 20yrs old. Peace.     | ||

Sorry to ear that. I feel your pain. I've known my best friend for 8yrs. I can't imagine losing him. Don't start drinking or anything stupid like that. I'd leave the gear alone 'til you can get your mind back on track. Try to get back to working out once you're ready and back into the swing of things start back. Again, I'm really sorry about what happen. Email me if you need anykind of support. | ||

Sorry for the loss of your friend . Continue your cycle , youll be back in the swing of the gym in no time , and maybe that hour or two can give you some comfort and help you deal with the anger that always surrounds situations like this . I would hate to see your emotions get further fucked with due to a mid cycle jump off and crash . | ||

Hey bro ... I am sorry to hear of your loss I've been there. I lost one of my life long friends about a month ago (drunk driving ... motorcycle). It still is fresh in my mind, and I still beat myself up("What if I was there ... I wouldn't have let him on the bike ...") In my case, going to the services and hearing his little brother make the eulogy made me realize that Brian would want me to get big as shit, and he wouldn't want me sitting around, so I use it as motivation. My answer to you is to get back in the gym and hit it harder than you ever have. As for the physiological aspects of you starting/stopping your cycle, I am not the most experienced AS guy on the board ... in fact, I am about to start my first cycle next week. | ||

My deepest condolences as well. You've already missed taking shots because of this so you aren't in a state that you can focus on you're cycle (it's a pretty small thing in contrast to what you're dealing with) so take the time needed to mourn and leave the cycle alone for now. | ||

Greenhouse, i'm sorry to hear that. I also lost a friend(we polevaulted together). And i wanted to quit so bad, but i knew he would of wanted me to continue jumping. So i say if you feel(emotionaly) ready, to start up on your cycle, and get back into the gym. Good Luck, and i'm sorry for the lost... | ||

Sorry bro, that's a shitty thing to have to deal with. I currently have a best friend who is trying to kill himself with drugs. I've been trying to get him to slow down but he won't listen to me or anyone else. Appriciate the time you have cause it could be over in a heart beat. ------------------ "Faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death." | ||

bro im real sorry about that. but i wouldnt stop cycling now--it would cause far more depression for you crashing, which would just add to everything you have now to deal with, you just missed a week--your not off-so no big deal just continue. its going to be hard either way bro, i just think post depression from a cycle would make it worst. just remember keep your head, cause your here now!  ------------------ | ||

Guys it's so nice to know that I have support from all you guys. And like I said before, when you have someone special make sure they know that. I am just so pleased that I got to drink with him and hang the whole weekend before, therefore I have fun memories of him. I think that I am going to continue with my lifting and my cycle, ROIDRANGER made an excellent point. That post cycle depression is going to be enough, I sure as hell dont need all this shit to happen at once. Thanks again everyone... God Speed. | ||

I feel your pain, bro. I was just informed this morning that this girl who was one of my good friends and who I went to gradeschool with for 6 years just passed away suddenly. She was a very caring and nice individual and although I hadn't even seen or talked to her in months I will miss her dearly. If you can get in the gym, do it. It might help take your mind off the pain. Again, I am sorry for your loss. | ||

sorry to hear bro. I lost my girlfriend of 2 years to a cocaine overdose, that was about 3 years ago and I still can't think about it without getting choked up. It fucking sucks but we gotta press on. [This message has been edited by timac (edited October 01, 2000).] | ||

Hey bro, i deffinatly feel for you. My father died of pancreatic cancer last month and i didnt want to dp anything for a long time. I hadnt gone to the gym in over a month. When stuff like this happens, you realize how important the ones you loose are. We sometimes take their presence for granted. I personally lits to forget. I try to stay busy like 24-7 to keep my mind off of it and lifting helps. It takes ahwile and might be difficult, but we all will get over any losses we encounter. Its part of life. Sorry for your loss bro.... | ||

This isn't a poem that you would want to read at a funeral but it's my favorite poem and one that applies. Around The Corner: By Henson Towne Around the corner I have a friend, And thats what we get and deserve in the end. Around the corner, a vanished friend.

That is a good poem Curious. I have to attend a funeral in a couple days for the girl I know who just died. I just found out that she was at a dance and just collapsed. She was only 22. Sucks. You can eat healthy all you want and exercise like crazy but when the good lord thinks your time is up, that's the end. I am very saddened by her death so I know exactly what you are going through. Keep your head up bro. Peace...Mav | ||

It's pretty messed up the way society forces us to feel bad when someone dies. Society tells us that if we dont feel bad then we didn't care about the person. You should just be happy he is in a better place and stop feeling sorry for your so called loss. It's pretty selfish I think to keep going on feeling all depressed because someone else lost thier life. Instead do what you think he would like you to do and move on with your life doing something good with it. Would you want your friends or loved ones to feel all depressed and loose all thier interest in life becuse you died. I think If you really care about someone then you would want them to move on and have a happy fullfilled life. Am I wrong ? Think about it- -Gord | ||

Some societies actually celebrate when a loved one dies. It's just that human emotion doesn't naturally allow one to celebrate when a loved one dies. If a friend moves away to a better town...your still sad, even though you are glad that they are happy. It's just that you miss them, not that you feel sorry for them. Don't confuse the two. ------------------ "Faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death." | ||

the loss of a friend or love one is never easy and your in my thoughts and prayers. I would use the time to devote something to him . maybe a contest next year or a commen ground you both shared. your training has to go on and i am sure he would want you to. use it as motivation and always keep him in your mind while training so that he is still working out through you. this board is filled with people who really care about our fellow brothers and we all grieve with you. e mail me if you ever need someone to vent on or speak to. peace Johnny | ||

I know what you're tring to say Gord, and you have a point. But curious hit it right...It's human nature and not society that causes you to feel sad...you miss the one you've lost, selfish or not. Very, Very sorry to hear this, greenhouse. I too am coping with the loss of two dear loved ones. I know that they're in a better place now, though. God is perfect and if he says it's time, then it's time. The best that we can do is keep moving. You'll learn more about yourself through this experience, and if you're opened minded you'll be a stronger person. I'm sure your friends spirit will be with you in your heart. Live your life to the fullest, and when it's your time, you too will go to that "great big gym in the sky" and you will have left people behind that will mourn you. That's the way life is. I wish you the best. And as long as you can pull yourself together to get through a workout, I'd hit the gym with a fierce determination to improve myself and heal my wounds...but you do what feels right to you. | ||

Yeah Gord, when a loved one dies it is hard to realize that you aren't gonna have them around you anymore. When a good friend dies it is almost like a part of you dies because in alot of cases you have grown up together and done practically everything with that person. Have a heart bro. Hell, I am not even sure that I believe in heaven and all that crap that the religions teach us. How do we know they are going to a better place? And how can we know that they didn't want to stay here with us? |
