I don’t have anything to look forward to in life except money entering my direct deposit every two weeks and back catalogs of podcasts. I don’t even want to listen to music anymore.

Man, I hate that every man's reaction to depression is: they must be fat.
This is honestly just generally good advice for your health but also depression specifically.

lmao
this is an indictment of antidepressants. SSRIs work like 1/3 of the time. not even a fucking coin flip. if exercise is the same as our top of the line medication then it's a fucking joke too and y'all are in here telling us to do shit that works less than half the time and the minority of success stories are equivalent to cherrypicked successes of liberal bootstraps ideology.
yeah harvard, you just said it doesn't help 70% of the time
?? I didn’t say they were fat.
I told them to lift. If they aren’t fat then they should get fat while they lift. Gotta bulk and cut.
My reaction was that OP is bored and likes listening to podcasts. Lifting will make that experience more fun.
All these replies “but that won’t cure cancer as well” are missing the point in a weirdly defensive way about stuff I never said. Projecting ass mfers.
I'm not projecting, this is just something I see time and time again, guys implying that other guys online they know nothing about are depressed because they're fat.
You say hit the gym, implying they don't already. You say get swole, implying they aren't already. You say engage in hedonism, implying they don't already. You say get hot, implying they aren't already. To me, that's clear cut you're implying they're fat and need to fix it. Cause I guess swole, hedonistic, hot people have nothing to be depressed about? You catch my drift?
I mean it's not that deep, I'm just bored of the line that getting swole is the answer to depression, it'll probably help just as any exercise will if you're lacking it but it's not going to fix your problems, despite what queues of men are waiting to tell you.
EDIT: Also I love all sorts of body types. Plenty of chubby guys who are hot and sweethearts. Plenty of skinny guys who are drop dead gorgeous. And loads in between. Why they gotta be swole to be hot.
Where did he say the OP was fat?
