Free Gym membership
« on: November 29, 2014, 05:08:11 am »
I spend a lot of time on the computer and in my art studio, doing homework, and listening to music. That consumes about 80% of my time. I have a tendency to feel depressed from time to time, even wonder if I should kill myself. Psychiatrist called it chronic depression and anxiety (my stress levels are through the fucking roof). For about a year now, I have been working at the YMCA as the guy at the desk that takes all the heat from unhappy members. I hate my job, I find it incredibly boring and stupid, and I hate the YMCA. HOWEVER. There is one aspect of this job that has changed my life, and that is: when it gets really slow and my bosses leave, I work out. Cardio, strength, RPM you name it. Every night for the last year I've been working out and it has boosted my overall contentment with life, given me goals to work towards, and help release stress and anger on tremendous levels so... It's worth it. I highly recommend anyone too lazy to work out or exercise, to do so. It feels so bad when you're doing it, but afterwards you will not regret it.

I'm a cop

It's well known amongst us crazies that exercise is good for depression. Any shrink worth the title will recommend it before throwing pills at you too.

I've been meaning to get back to the Y myself to work out. I stopped going when I hurt my back at work.
I'll try anything once, and twice to be sure.
