I think I might be an extrovert

Is it terminal? /joke

Ok, but real talk, having gym buddies and a gym where people talk to each other, a sex life with fwbs that are actually friendly, and getting exercise has all added up to making me not?!? Depressed?!?! For the first time in at least a decade. I’m tapering my anti depressants, and it’s still okay so far (I might stick with my current lower dose for a while).

I feel unleashed. I feel type-A. I feel like I can actually achieve something if I put in daily effort. I have a fucking to-do list and I’m checking shit off DAILY.

ADHD meds are helping more in combination with having a workout routine. I’m noticeably less effective without it, but I’m being prescribed so I have plenty.

But also, like… I’m shooting the shit with people better than I ever have, getting peoples numbers and making plans to hang out (might fuck around and go for a hike with a new gym buddy this weekend).

I feel good randomly right now (hard conditioning workout and a big meal in the last 4 hours). That never fucking happened last year.

Exercise and community, folks, can’t recommend it enough.

A community which focusses on improving yourself. This can be in many different ways - from improving physical health or appearance, to improving mental health, creating better habits, overcoming addictions, etc.

While material circumstances beyond our control do govern much of our daily lives, people do have agency and choices to make, whether that is as “simple” as disciplining yourself to not doomscroll, to as complex as recreating yourself to have many different hobbies and habits.

This is not a place where all we do is talk about improving “productivity” (in a workplace context) and similar terms and harmful lifestyles like “grindset”. Self-improvement here is intended to make you a generally better and happier person, as well as a better communist, and any other roles you may have in your life.

Rules and guidelines:

Posts should be about self-improvement. This is obviously a wide category, and can range from advice, to finding resources, to self-posts about needing to improve in a certain area, or how you have improved, and many other things.

Use content warnings when discussing difficult subjects.

Do not make medical decisions solely because of a discussion you have had with any person here (e.g. whether to take or not take medications; diagnoses; etc.) as we do not vet people. All medical problems should be discussed with a real-life medical professional.

Do not post harmful advice here. If this is seen, then please report it and we shall remove it. If you are unsure about whether it’s precisely harmful advice or not but feel uneasy about it, please report it anyway.

Do not insult other users and their lifestyles or their habits (unless they ask, I suppose). This is a place for self-improvement. Critique and discussion about a course of action is encouraged over shit-flinging. Don’t talk down to people.
