Ways to deal with your shit besides going to the gym
Hi everyone. I have been struggling with myself ever since i could form thoughts.
Im looking a new “escape”. The only one that has worked for me is the gym, ive been addicted to it for the past 3 years and know way too much about training and nutrition since im kind of a nerd about it. Anyways, while thats great and all, Ive noticed myself spiraling into really really dark places whenever im sick or injured and cant use my “picking up heavy shit” way to cope.
Things that ive tried but didnt work:
Journaling/poetry — I cant bring myself to write anything down
Music —while I do absolutely love music, its not exactly a great escape since ill just put on some depressed shit
Therapy — Im in therapy, but its more just like an hour of venting and trying to understand my thoughts, again, great but doesnt really help me escape.
Doomscrolling — I hate when i do this, but 9/10 times i resort to it cause wtf else is there
Drawing/walking/films/running — just more hobbies that I do for 2 days straight every once in a while and then forget about it for a month
Any advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated, thanks
