There is a reason why med students and doctors make memes about running and cardio. If you don't do it the lifestyle will drown you and you'll lose so much of your physical and mental health which all can be offset by a good 30 minute jog in the morning or whenever you feel down
Well the first few weeks are definitely the worst but as soon as it becomes a habit you'll thank yourself for doing it this favor. Also try finding a running partner it helps
You realize that they're in MED SCHOOL? The place that devours all of your time, energy, and soul for studying and clinicals? There's a reason why so many relationships struggle or fail while one of them is in med school - they're so busy they might as well not be there. It's a very tough 4+ years for everyone involved, sadly.
Don’t find a partner. The level of your partner may be unequal to yours so either of you is gonna feel like absolute shit and possibly throwing up after the run as the slower one will try to keep the quicker ones pace.
… or you just had a bad partner. a good partner will try to match your pace when you’re still improving your cardio. you can push each other to finish the run. most people recommend a partner.
What helped me start running a couple years back is to do it only three days a week. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. You give your body time to rest and it's not as much of a drain as doing it everyday. After a month or so (once it becomes habitual), I actually look forward to my runs. It's my quiet peacetime out jn nature. Another tip, is to not go hard every run, just relax and peacefully jog at a light pace.
my most logistically plausible place to run is around my dorm, and the environment ain't that nature, so I guess despite all the other reason I've got going against me, that's another one
I'm also in med school and I get the difficulty. It's good to set a schedula and after forcing yourself to adhere to it for a while it gets easier. (Tests are hard to work around though)
Sometimes they are characters with a childlike appearance but are said to be thousands of years old, sometimes they don’t even pretend with that and are supposed to be actual child characters, it’s genuinely fucked
In a culture where nobody's willing to say some things are good/healthy and some things are not, maybe a little reminder of a constructive goal wouldn't hurt?
LMAO we don't live in that culture. there are plenty of you whiny cunts. that don't have the ability to solve problems or improve situations but still want to bitch anyway
you aint helping shit, dumbass. the idea that a four word sentence that's basically an insult is ever going to be enough to help someone figure out their problems is naive to an extreme degree, like if I had just said 'you're a fuckin dumbass' and expected you to sort your shit out from just that. childish.
Brother you need to make a change now. Sooner than later. You can’t just hope that later on you finally make a change. Change starts in the present tense. Good luck.
Yeah if only i wasn't crippled by my own mental illness and life. I'm so tired all the time and when I'm not tired I'm anxious and when I'm not anxious I'm sad. I've basically lost my relationship, my cat is dying, debt is going up, and I'm losing the will to live.
Cool glad the rest of you are. Too bad I'm trapped. Sucks to be me, life isn't fair. I'll die some day and nothing will matter anyway. My life is going to be a pit of misery and despair and that's never going to change. Hasn't in 33 years and it won't anytime soon. My wife is gonna leave me, I won't be able to find anyone else because I'm an unlovable, rancid personality apparently and I also don't have any looks. I'll never know the joys of having children. I'll never be young and healthy. My best years are behind me and they also sucked, but age will take me and it's only going to get worse with the marching passage of time. My mental illnesses will prevent me from ever trusting, ever trying, ever living up to any potential I may have once had. I'm a shell walking through life and I'll die a shell, alone.
You don't have to make giant changes all at once to get healthier, it starts with simple things like eating less or going for a 2 minute walk to the end of your driveway and back, and then build from there.
I've been in a similar spot as you of being so depressed and anxious I didn't leave my house for weeks at a time, and being over 320 pounds.
Currently i'm down to 215, and while I do eat much healthier and walk 5+ miles a day as well as regular exercise, it started with small changes of eating a single bacon cheeseburger and medium fries instead of a double bacon cheeseburger and large fries, or walking my dog for 10-15 minutes a few times a day.
My point is, find literally any positive change of any size you can make in your life and start doing it, then once you do that, find some other way to build on that with the next step of that chain you chose and keep building.
I get that the deppression and anxiety makes the all or nothing thinking of i'm either a lazy piece of shit that sleeps all day, or I go to the gym for an hour everyday seems like the only options, but neither extreme is really sustainable, and by setting small goals you can obtain it makes you feel better about the depression and anxiety along the way.
Hopefully helpful advice - if you're struggling with getting to a gym, don't. In terms of health, it's far more important to eat right. This is a common saying in gym circles: you can't outrun a bad diet.
I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. But if you do manage to find the motivation to improve something, the most valuable use of your time will be to fix your eating habits first.
You absolutely do not need to start a gym routine to lose weight. I lost 80 pounds on diet alone. As long as you are consuming fewer calories than your body burns (try 1600 or so to start) then you will lose weight.
Yeah, I lost 90lbs once and it was great to have so many people mention it, asking me how I did it (I literally just stopped eating shit). I mean, I'm kinda fat again now, 6 years later, but it did feel nice.
400 pounds shouldn’t be that hard lose tbh. If you’re 400 pounds that means you’re eating 3-4x the normal human being. So if you just eat like a normal fucking person, they pounds should just glide off

WeeTheDuck@reddit

You can. Swimming is low impact and it’s a lot of fun
