Good luck with your goals!
Was trying 250 bench and failed, 230 is a good halfway point to it. Need to eat more but balancing this fat loss and muscle growth difficult. Maybe in a month I'll get to 250 maybe two if I keep the fasts going and stay steady

So I just ordered some nicotine lozenges to help with my quit. If I can get over the hump of the first week of not vaping I should be set. I've resigned myself to having fucked up sleep and dreams for a bit but it's just something I'll have to deal with. That's been my biggest issueof quitting vaping outside of the cravings and general irritableness where I want to punch everyone around me.
Things have been getting better and better for me! I started on sertraline two months ago and the difference it's made is insane. The only downside is that I can't cum nearly as often but that's a small price to pay. Also I want to give credit to myself as well. I've been going to therapy and getting a lot out of it, I've been talking about mental health with my friends and family and I've been having a healthier diet and exercise routine.
Which brings me to what went really well for me last week, which is that I did a 3km walk into college and then did a workout or a swim four days last week. And I felt really really good about it, and I'm very motivated to go again. I had some muscle pain after the first day but I didn't let that stop me, and it went away very quickly as I kept exercising. I've also been eating better. I've cut out a lot of snacks, and I'm having breakfast nearly every day now.
Mentally, I've realised just how depressed I was for the last few years, and I've only noticed that because I'm not that depressed anymore. I can recognize that the ways I was just passing time until the end of the day were unhealthy coping mechanisms, and I feel much fresher and have more energy now. I still have ADHD, obviously, and I'm not a productivity freak like some of my neurotypical friends, but I've felt like I can take more actions in a day now. One thing I noticed is that I'm not inexhaustible even when I feel great. I went for an early walk and swim yesterday and had to lie down all afternoon because I just had no energy. But I'm glad I was using yo my energy at least

One of the most profoundly melancholic feelings I have felt. Realizing how bad things were is a very strange feeling to me. It’s not bad, it’s not good, it just is, and I don’t the like the is that it is.
I finally have a job and I’ve been riding that high now that I have an income again. Too bad it’s seasonal and pays very little so no moving out. I’ve also found a therapist to try CBT.
Does anyone know a good way to make progress if you’ve ever been like me and found yourself desperately seeking a purpose in life? I’ve been this way for almost a decade.
I had a really good week for once, here are my Ws:
Next week I want to continue jogging, meditating and eating healthy. But my main goal for next week is to socialize and touch grass with friends
Stickied good luck
