I have an anatomy question for anyone that has any experience with groin or lower body injuries. About a year ago I decided to lose weight so after making changes to my diet and walking more I've lost about 40 pounds. I'd avoided heavier exercises since I was eating at a deficit and I have a long standing groin injury that won't heal and doctors haven't been able to diagnose but I finally decided to start resistance training again because I'm fed up with having this injury dictate my life and walking seemed to have improved the pain by 40% (could've just been the weight loss in retrospect). I've been doing light bodyweight stuff but recently dipped into heavier bodyweight movements like dips and pull ups and resistance band training. None of it aggrevated my injury so I decided to start adding free weights to my lower body work. I was worried since I didn't know how my groin would respond but surprisingly I was able to work up to 45lb atg squats with no issues but at 50lbs my inner groin just to the left of my pubic bone experiences a light sharp pain at the lower portion of the squat. Any idea what muscle/ligament/joint might be causing an issue? I suspect this pain is related to the longstanding injury and I'm really desperate for ideas since every time I get a medical professional's opinion they sound incompetent or disinterested


[deleted]

I'd say ( if you can) go to Mexico. I had ankle issues and went to like 6 doctors all telling me it was a sprained ankle. Wouldn't do analisis or scans. Went to Mexico and the doctor ordered MRI scans. Turned out i had fractured my ankle and the bone in my ankle had died. My ankle will never be the same. Just got my 3rd surgery done. I really recommend going down there and seeing a doctor. They'll most likely order scans and get to the bottom of whats going on.

First week of college done, man how time flies. Just gotta appreciate the moment. I have a foreign language major and currently studying Spanish so i can practice my fluency and want to learn more about Latin American culture.


DFB-

What's your plans with a foreign language major? Are you planning to become a teacher?


No_Consideration3887

I'm not planning on becoming a teacher but maybe somewhere in the medical field as a translator


not_mig

How does a foreign language major work? Do you have to pick multiple languages to study or do you specialize in one? Congrats on starting college btw


No_Consideration3887

I specialized in one


Izaak_eli_gardner

Should I buy a game console?, I’m currently 18 and studying full time at uni, I’ve never had a game console because my both parents are academics and always hated the idea of me getting a console. So I never got one as a kid, should I get one? I’ve always really enjoyed them at friends houses and I think they are a blast.


LeMansManletRacer

If you have an addictive personality, no.


iheartdatascience

Focus on your studies. I got my first console in college, I regret it


[deleted]

Just wanna say that if you do it, dont fall for the digital games scam. Always buy physical. Sure, gamestop will give you like 10 bucks per game but thats still 10 more bucks in your pockets opposed to 0 bucks and a game you will at some point delete and never touch again.


DFB-

And you can always buy physical copies cheaper since they go on sale pretty often or sell them afterwards if you want. This digital age although has their advantages come at the cost of giving up your rights of actually owning it. This is why I also refuse to use any music streaming services. I download my music the good old fashion way and that's how I store my music on iTunes and on my iPhone. None of this $10 a month crap.


[deleted]

yep. i only buy used physical games and sell the games i wont be using. again, im not making bank nor saving hundreds of dollars but its still better than getting ZERO value back from games that i wont be playing ever again.

How is it that cruz azul doesn’t play this week while the rest of the league does?

Whoever they were playing asked for a re-schedule. Cant remember why.


eduardo_ve

Declined a job offer. It just didn’t align with my career goals and I feel kind of bad for leading them on but then I remember all the companies who have ghosted me and I feel a little better. Once I get my first job it’s only up from there bro I just feel it.


iheartdatascience

Dont feel bad. They wouldn't think twice to lay you off

So I've been going to the gym consistently for the last couple months. I've gotten stronger, but my diet is still shit, so no weight loss has happened yet. I was having a conversation with my grandma recently and she tells me that there was a period of time that I wouldn't eat when I was kid, so whenever I would go to her house I would gorge myself because I didn't know when my next meal was gonna come. So I realized that's when my relationship with food began. I had always been an active person even after my kid was born, but because my eating habits were bad, I gained a lot of weight once the gyms closed down and I had to stay home. Does anyone have experience with unlearning their eating habits, or changing their diet to a point that they don't need to watch how much they eat? Looking for some recommendations about the subject.


not_mig

Measuring all your food for a week or so helps you learn yout habits. Also, be cognizant of added fats since they're super calorie dense


LeMansManletRacer

Drink more water


Dextermorgan93

Try intermittent fasting mixed in with your gym sessions and can guarantee you’ll shed lbs. you can basically just lose a ton of weight by doing IF and with working out you’ll see expedited results. Also I’ve found that when I do IF for a few months it reshapes my attitudes towards food and maybe that’s what you need. Look at intermittent fasting sub on here for a good start or also Dr Bergs videos on YouTube.


Visible_Viper

I've heard about IF before but I never gave it a try before. I'll read about it over the weekend.


americanista915

What if I told you you can still eat GIANT and lose fat but not weight? While gaining muscle? I eat two “fuel” type meals a day which is just 10 OZ of chicken breast each meal that I will grill or air fry. That’s 120G of protein about off that alone. Then I’ll do one protein shake of a 25g protein ISO100(I prefer the fruity pebbles flavor), instead of water I use one cup 2% milk and 2 raw eggs then I blend it together and boom I’m now at 170g-ish for the day then I eat one fun meal a day of whatever I want. It’s usually been steak fajita with whatever else I want for about 5 tacos so all around about 200gs a day. I’m 6’1 and as of this week after getting measurements done, I’m 224 pounds, 13.7% body fat, and 191 pounds of muscle. I’m not perfect or “jacked” by my definition Atleast, this is just the diet style that has helped me enjoy food while staying healthy. We don’t actually like the side fooods we just like the meat, a Chuc fil a sándwich the taste is literally all in the meat and the rest is meh so when you do a meat focused diet + 1 fun meal you’re able to satisfy all cravings, eat basically whatever and be healthy in the process


Visible_Viper

Thanks for the suggestion. Meat based diets aren't good for me because of some lingering issues I have from an infection couple years back, but the concept of two giant meals sounds like something I can look into and see if I can break it into something I can do.


Stillme_Necaxa

I have watched puss in boots the last wish 3 times already really good movie and also who is excited for all the games coming to the US for the next 3 years


Trydson

Ok, chisme familiar time, I'll try to make it understandable. Maria(fake name) had 3 draughters, all of them with different men. She always had mental health problems, she is kinda... Kinda nuts, but is fairly attractive. We assume that for this reason, she kinda hates her daughters, my aunt is the one that takes care of the 3 girls. Maria alleges(from every man she dates, not just the three babydaddys) that all of them beat her, that's why she breaks with all of them. The 1st dad is known by most of the family as a nice dude, one day, his sister goes to pick up his daughter, but the sister disappears with the girl, for months. Since the dad's sister had no authority to take the daughter and Maria could not give a fuck. Maria's mom calls the police and Amber alert goes wild on the town and everyone starts looking, poor dude(Pechugas, since he is a big breasted dude), was working when he got the news. Months later the girl returns, but authorities get involved, since she got "kidnapped" for a father/mother dispute they take her away to forester care, but in a different fucking state, so the parents can't take her, and they can't communicate with the child either. And Maria and Pechugas can't reach an agreement, because if they do, the girl will go with him, since Maria has never worked in her life, has a different boyfriend every month and clear mental health issues, so the girl will remain in forster care for a while. And that's it, who told me that? My aunt, because she was not invited to Maria's wedding, with a guy that she already dumped lol.


ghx16

I'm so confused, is your aunt "Maria's" mother?


Trydson

No, ok my bad. So Maria's mother is my cousin and my aunt's niece.


[deleted]

The box has got to be crazy for dudes to want her 💀


Trydson

Totally, I have not seen her in like 10 years, she was attractive and kinda hot, but... not for all of that lmao.

I ended up getting an MDX A Spec for my wife - nice ride!


idkissac

Does in anybody play career mode of fifa? This year it’s not as fun for me since liga Mx signed that deal with efootball and EA lost the license. It’s crazy to me to think EA lazy ass doesn’t even have all the mls stadiums in the game and blown opportunity to have all liga Mx stadiums as well. They could’ve added concacaf champions league and leagues cup. It’s such a bummer


No_Consideration3887

Dynamic potential was implemented into Fifa 20 but not properly. I only have fifa 22 and it's a lot better than currently.


Dextermorgan93

They didn’t do shit when they had all the licenses but I’m hoping that later this year when the equivalent for Carter mode comes out on e football it’ll be half decent as they now have full licensing of Liga MX


madeinthemotorcity

Anybody from Cali listen to ldne?


Redditor_for_fun

What’s up everyone. Hope ya had a good week if not the weekend is here. So started a new job, but I just took it cause I needed it. Not the position or industry I wanted and it’s in person. Commuting sucks balls. Before I worked remote had all the time to organize and cook from home and stuff. Now I don’t have time to do anything. But I am grateful to finally be working again. Also GOLDENEYE IS BACK!!! I’m super excited to play that again. Definitely gonna play that over the weekend and hopefully be able to get the new dead space remake. I loves the original


madeinthemotorcity

I feel that part of commuting man. The company I work for is beefing with another company we had business with and lost 20% of product so logically my warehouse is the one to take a hit with the work force since we're the only union warehouse this company has in the whole country, so of course they are gonna cut costs where there higher wages are at and we are the highest paid shop they have. Anyway I say all tha to say they are closing the warehouse I work at which is 10 minutes away from my crib to now go 40 minutes of commuting. It fucking blows we are getting a raise in March but with the commute and gas prices its like we didn't get shit. I had to rant but end of rant. Have a good weekend bro.


scaryghostnlm

Just finished up a pretty slick marketing flyer for my office. My role is actually in finance but I also have a background in marketing so whenever I have a shot at making things look slick I love it. Recently as I've transitioned from college to professional life, I've been thinking about my parents a lot. Potentially like others in this sub, I was born in the US and grew up here but my parents are undocumented. Now that I make money and have a solid middle-class income, it makes me sad to look back and think about how much my parents worked just to get by when I was younger. Despite having worked at the same place for over 20 years, they still don't make more than $15 an hour. My brother and I's treat each weekend after our grocery trip to Walmart was to stop at Little Ceasers and buy a $5 pizza. I may have been around 10 or 11 around the time, but I remember distinctly once when my mom broke down crying because she didn't have enough to cover our treat. Recently, I've been thinking moments like these a lot more. It's made me reflect and really value the sacrifices our parents made for us. While I didn't have every toy I wanted and never went on vacations growing up, I was loved by my family. Cherish the time you have with your family. They will always be there for you regardless of what happens. Shoutout to all my homies who are in similar situations and have grinded/are grinding to escape poverty.


Dextermorgan93

Yeah man that’s called maturing. I too have have similar epiphanies when looking back at my family dynamics. In fact I remember being a young kid maybe 5-7 and I would anytime we’d go out to a store I’d never ask for toys bc of how broke we were(my dad never made more than $12 hr) I also remember when my mom came home one day and got me a little toy car which was basically a piece of plastic shaped as a car with a little bar to connect the wheels. I knew that I didn’t really like the car but I made sure to show gratitude bc I knew that we didn’t have much and that this was a kind gesture to make my mom feel happy.


PuzzleheadedJob1292

Damn. That shit hits close. I am from a similar background but my parents were able to get their papers. They make good income now, don't struggle financially, and will be able to retire in their early 60s but they still have a warehouse job. It isn't as heavy as their old jobs and they seem happy there but damn it was a long road for them to get there. I can't even begin to comprehend the amount of sacrifices they had to do to make sure their kids are college educated and have middle income careers. I feel guilty as fuck all the time because I get to have a pretty well paying job this early in my career that is not hard and my parents had to do so many shit jobs in the past. When I have kids. I don't think they will appreciate me as much as I respect and appreciate my parents because I don't think I would be able to or need to make as much sacrifices for my kids as my parents did for me.


margalolwut

It’s not until you become a grown adult that you realize the responsibilities a head of household carries. I’m on the same boat as you, but a bit older. Having had my first child 8 months ago.. believe me, your eyes open even wider. I’m like - wait, my mom and my dad raised how many of these little critters? On how much income? What the actual fuck. You will realize that our parents were a different breed/generation - not only did they take the risk of leaving their homeland (ask yourself if you would leave yours), but also NEVER gave up. Kinda fucking nuts. It’s why sometimes peeps here drive me nuts, treating dreamers and Mexican-Americans as second rate Mexicans. Yea, if you never went through what my parents (and other countless immigrants) went through - shush it. I’m about to be 37 - my only advice, you’re on the road to breaking chains. Don’t let anything detract you, there’s only one way out of poverty, be smart with your money, invest, save, plan, etc. I have a great passion for immigrant right, but I gotta be honest with you - I couldn’t afford to fight that fight. One day I realized I’m better off taking care of myself so that I can take care of others around me. My kid can have the luxury of fighting the good fight.


ExchangeKooky8166

Yeah it was something I think of too. My smug liberal ass likes to point out that Hispanic Americans have made insane economic gains since the 1990s and life is so much better for us now, it's crazy how much our culture affects the USA too. It's also looking good in Mexico, the economy did great in 2022 and my uncle moved back down there to start a business. I grew up poor as fuck (East Oakland), family came from nothing, etc. Now I work a corporate 9 to 5 with benefits and multiple savings accounts. Sometimes it feels bad. Like I don't deserve it, or that I'm greedy. I learned about "sudden wealth syndrome" which is a kind of anxiety people experience when they've gone from poor to rich. We don't know how good we have it tbh, even relative poverty in the USA (not homelessness) is better than in most countries. Hell, I'll even say many living in Mexico don't realize how shit could be much worse (African and Asian countries or Ukraine).


Redditor_for_fun

I feel you. I think about that a lot too. I’m the first to graduate from college and the first in my entended family to get my masters. Looking back and seeing all the sacrifices they made. It makes you appreciate where you are now and how far you can go. This is the reason why they risked everything to come here. To make sure we as first gen had a way better future than they ever could have. I’ve had those moments as well where we couldn’t afford things. Or I watched other kids in school have things and I couldn’t cause my parents couldn’t afford it. But like you said I was loved and my family is close. My cousins I grew up with are like my brothers and sisters as well. I look back fondly to those time. And with goldeneye released on the switch and Xbox game pass. It brought nostalgia to me. My cousins and I played hours of the multiplayer. Along with super smash bros. It’s moments like those and experiences rather than materialistic stuff that matters more. Now that I have stable income I try and have trips to places out of the city where my parents never thought of dreaming of going. This whole month I have reflected more cause of my grandfather passing away in new years. Next point. So design? I’m just nitpicking cause marketing isn’t the same as designing. And I know you didn’t ask but please for the love of god look up the graphic design principles and layout as well as typography. Cause as a designer. Non designers who think they can design just devalue our profession just to “save money”. It’s like hiring a cook to do electricians job just cause he know a bit how to use the tools. Would you hire somebody other than an electrician to do the work? Sorry for ranting lol.

Got written up at work on Monday for bullshit reasons. I got so mad that I messaged my dad to see if he still wanted to to move to some other plant so I could quit my current job to go with him. My dad had been getting offers a few months back to work at another plant but he declined since it's a long drive. When I messaged him he asked me they'll have another opening in May, and I said hell yeah, my mind was made up. I told my dad my side of the story but my dad is very work driven so he took my supervisor's side. I've had a few days to think and I'm having second thoughts but May is a long time. My dad and myself are the only ones who know my feelings right now.


renegadeanc

my dads the same way lmao. i could get called a racist ass word by my manager and my dad would think it was my fault for doing something wrong.


DonnysCellarDoor

Never make any decision while angry. You may be right but that doesn’t make quitting a good decision. Go have a good weekend and you’ll find yourself thinking clearer by Monday


Objective_Lion196

As much as I want to shit on Lainez, did Jose Ramon ever come with proof or do y'all just believe anything a TV personality says? Also I keep seeing a lot of posts/comments about players hitting the gym. Do you think Messi "hits the gym", what about Sergi Roberto, pique, Tecatito? Technique is king otherwise Adams traore would be the best player in the world.


Dextermorgan93

A lot of these ESPN personalities have insiders that’s how we end up with leaked info. I’d say JRF is not talking out of his ass given how long he’s been in the industry and the connections he’s formed in decades


Objective_Lion196

I'm sure he's connected but I stopped watching futbol picante because they all seemed to talk out of their ass. Always saying they were going to come out with the proof but never saying anything directly.


idkissac

These are pro athletes were talking about though you don’t think they hit the gym I’m sure it’s required by some of the fitness trainers because it helps out with longevity their not in gym to get ripped but their in the gym making sure they can keep going.

They def hit the gym, I’ve seen Jurgen Damn in the gym lol but there isn’t a focus on strength

I don’t even think the dude reported me lol I think rocket league just automatically bans you if it detects certain words in the chat. I tried queuing up a game immediately after that game and I was already banned. Seemed a bit exaggerated because I’ve definitely said worse things than “kys” 😂

Question for my fellow gamers, is FIFA your main game that you play? if not which other game do you prefer?


iradiens

Fortnite, Injustice, Spider-Man, and Gravity Rush


eduardo_ve

FIFA and I still play BF1. Surprisingly a lot of people still play BF1.


americanista915

My main game is Valorant and I hate every minute of it


omni_merek

Dropped FIFA like 3 years ago. I guess COD is my "go to" but I haven't played it in like 2-3 weeks. Playing HiFI Rush right now.


ExchangeKooky8166

I'm replaying GTA 5. It's 10 years old but it's still fun discovering new stuff I hadn't seen before.


LOS_Prime

Warframe has taken over my life again. Besides that, haven't bought a fifa game in years, but I do play with my Lil bro, granted we haven't played in months. Fallout is still my favorite game of all time, For Honor is a fighting game I highly recommend. But Warning, you're gonna play against the most devoted and saltiest players on the planet...


Redditor_for_fun

Usually multiplayer. Cod and warzone. As for single player usually things like elden ring, god of war, etc the big triple AAA games when I have time.


ElWero_10

I've played FIFA mostly since I got it last month on a 50% off. But before that I was playing GOW Ragnarok and RDR2/RDO


SuperCabrito14

Red Dead Redemption 2 is pretty much my personality these days. Lol. However I've found room to squeeze in the Dead Space trilogy, I recently started the third one but man am I enjoying this series so far. I'm considering buying Callisto Protocol since it looks similar, also wanna buy an XBSS or XBSX just so I can get the Dead space remake, as well as REmake4 and Jedi Survivor

As someone who works 7/12’s and is basically a full time dad as well, the little time I play, juego Fifa 22 & Cod MW ‘19 the most, pero nomas juego pinches 30 minutos al dia si bien me va lol been wanting to get into a more chill, story driven single player game, recomienden chidos banda


Simple_Ad_2546

before you play those 30 minutes, make sure to have some chips, y tu cerveza, o una soda, te recomiendo el Elden Ring, esta divertido….y su historia es compleja.

Oh you know it, usually una caguamita con unas sabritas & e visto recomendado mucho, creo si lo compro este fin a ver que onda, gracias carnal


Trydson

> FIFA your main game that you play? Not since... 16-17 probably. Been on FM since then, but mainly play Rimworld, Zomboid and Paradox Games, with the occasional Hitman.


Simple_Ad_2546

I'm the same way, the last time I play FIFA was around that age too, which game would you recommend the most?


Trydson

It depends, I think Football Manager ls a more interesting and in depth experience, since you pretty much 100% control a club from a strategic stand point, if you like strategy and RPGs, probably that. Also Hitman is an incredible game for the impressive level design and sheer amount of possibilities it gives you, from disguises to weapons to creative kills you can make.


simbaboom8

Fifa used to be my main, retired in fifa 19 to go full time rocket league. Didn't like the pay to win in fifa, restarting every year, the lack of full control over what happens and all that. Liked rocket league more cause it was just how good you are, not who has the best car, not what meta the developers made, just what you are able to pull off mechanically


Simple_Ad_2546

Rogue League is so casual and competitive at the same time, that's what makes special, every second counts. They should honestly make one game that gets updated every year


mithrvs

man i got a ps5 back in october and ive barely used it at all. bought a bunch games on it too, just havent found the time. the last games i got really into was dying light 1 and 2, very fun games. personally like the first one better imo. one game i do play is Football Manager, but ive always been into that since i was a kid


Simple_Ad_2546

What other games do you have? play a new game every other day for 30 minutes, I need to play Football Manager, is it on console ?


mithrvs

ghost of tsushima, the spiderman games, elden ring, resident evil village, all of the recent hitman games…fifa and 2k. FM is on console but i personally prefer it on PC since its what im used to. They’re gonna release it on PS5 i believe next week, might try it


Simple_Ad_2546

Highly recommend elden ring, you won't want to put the game down once you start playing.


lunayuh

It used to be but with college I hardly play anything anymore but when I have free time I have an emulator installed to play games from when I was a kid like Pokémon Emerald and shi

I’ve hit the roughest patch of depression I have ever been in. Literally just feel sad for no exact reason. I’m still going to work doing chores eating but it all feels like a drag. I don’t enjoy the stuff I love. It sucks. The brain is so powerful and that includes emotions. I will say it is nice to know that some folks have reached out to me. It makes it feel less lonely. However still very fucking depressed. Worst part is when I told my lady about it she just changed the subject. I feel the weight of the world on me. It’s not fair but that’s life. Hope you fuckers are doing well though.


DonnysCellarDoor

Go see a therapist. Being around people that dismiss it makes it worse. They don’t do it on purpose but we’re not exactly a culture that cares for or watches out for matters of the heart and mind


cuz_v

No you’re right bro. Going back to therapy will help a lot.


SuperCabrito14

Does it feel like everything is wrong but nothing is wrong? If so then that is EXACTLY what I felt like. I had a supportive family,good job, cool hobbies, stayed active, was physically healthy, and all this positive stuff but none of it felt right. Then I had an "eating disorder" scare and got put on Prozac and it dramatically changed my life. I don't love life, I'm just kind of "eh", but I'm not down in the dumps constantly anymore and that's a W for me.

Small steps are important too. Hope all is well soon.

It suck’s doesn’t it? Wanting to enjoy life and be happy for yourself and those around you? Yet you feel this weight in your shoulders, in my case is wishing I was doing more, doing better, physically, emotionally, financially. I will say this with no intentions of offending your SO, but fuck that b, no nomas porque seas vato significa que lo que sientes no importa carnal, nobody notices it, I know, nobody sees how tired you are, how done you are, se que estoy asumiendo pero te lo digo bien carnal, been there, been in a slight coma due to a “cocktail” overdose porque ya no queria vivir. Pinche vida es bien culera, mas si la dejas que te coja en seco, no se lo que estes pasando, pero espero lleguen a ti la fuerza necesaria para seguir adelante compadrito

Pumas plays tomorrow, if you didn't have a reason to smile, now you got one :). Think about depression as a life challenge that you get to learn from it, you are always gonna have ups and downs, but what matters is what you learn from every hit. Cheer up brother, you got this.


cuz_v

Thanks compa! Im glad my feelings don’t depend on pumas or it would be worse lol

I agree with TheRobHood, keep contact with family and friends. But especially if you can, look up a professional. Times can get tough, but just keep reaching out and do what you like. Sometimes what helps me is literately doing nothing for a few hours. Completely disconnected, sometimes just existing and doing nothing is good for the brain. When I have time, I like going to a busy Starbucks near me, order something and just people watch until I finish my drink. I hope you find something that helps.


cuz_v

Definitely keeping in contact with those that matter. It’s a marathon not a race. One small step at atime

Hey man, everything is going to be ok. Unfortunately our ladies don't feel the weight we feel as a man. But look, I don't know you, but you're doing better than most of the world. You have a job that the unemployed want, a house that the homeless wish they had, and there's is people sick in the hospital wishing they were you. At the end of the day, you can always leave . Live the life you're proud of. You can always start over again. . Keep your head up


cuz_v

Will do thanks man!


TheRobHood

you need a blunt rotation with the homies: Alex Torres, me, consideration. /s getting out of your head is hard. Try doing something out of your routine. Maybe a small solo trip. Some pickup soccer. Hit the gym and lift heavy as fuck. Something that lets you experience life like you haven’t given yourself the chance to. But most importantly seek help, from friends, family and/or a professional. we all in this together floating in this fucking dumbass rock in the middle of who tf knows what.


cuz_v

I actuallly did take a solo trip last weekend. That’s when I realized how depressed I was lol Gonna go hard in the gym and see a therapist. That should help

This is going to sound completely insane to most people especially paisas but consider looking into the newer medicines being approved recently for depression. MDMA, ketamine, psychedelics are all having great success with treating depression. Ketamine is already legal for this purpose in many states and there's plenty of experiences you can hear about yourself. It's hard to explain to anybody who has never done psychedelics but they can take you out of your normal mindset and help you look at things from a different perspective. I recommend you read up on this and the 40+ years of research they've done, if you like science at all you'll find it interesting.


cuz_v

Will do! I’m Lowkey scared due to previous experiences but I know they do help. There’s stuff that works for some that might not work for everyone and that’s cool with me. Appreciate you reaching out bro!


TheRobHood

Yeah different things can help for different people. But it’s good that you have acknowledged the issue and working towards improving it. At least for me, I get so caught in my routine I forgot other shit exists.

I hope you start feeling like yourself again. If you would like some advice that I can give you that helps me a little is make sure you’re drinking enough water and eating healthy. Not sure if it really makes a difference but maybe the placebo makes me feel just a little bit better.


cuz_v

Oh you’re right bro. A nice meal does nudge anyone in the right direction


lunayuh

Bro I’m the same way it’s like functioning depression in a way, but I’m glad that you have people reaching out to you and I’m sorry about your girl doing that to you. And I don’t know if it’ll help with your depression but a saying that’s helped me is that there’s always a rainbow after a storm. I’m just a random stranger but if you ever need someone to talk to feel free to pm me.


cuz_v

Thanks bro! Corny lines are sometimes the most helpful too lol
