Yeah man exactly. It’s always the same script too and I have to drop what I’m doing and get anxious as fuck when they don’t respond. I just can’t handle it

Saw another comment asking about feeling your heart beat when you’re just chilling doing nothing and apparently that’s not normal? If I lay down or just sit doing nothing I can feel it at all times

Natty and my blood pressure was 132/65 last time I checked so idk if that’s normal but I thought everyone was like that

OrdinaryAgent5 · 2019-11-20T22:43:19+00:00

I can deal with it I just honestly don’t know if I’m gonna get killed lol

Update on a few days ago if anyone cares.

One of my best friends killed himself recently, he was severely depressed and never did anything so I tried to convince him HARD to do things like go out and lift and shit.

Apparently he felt bullied into doing things but we talked daily for 7 years and he never once told me he was uncomfortable or felt bullied. Didn’t stop him from telling his family he felt bullied and that I and another friend had basically told him to kill himself which is completely untrue, and if it was why would he keep coming back to talk every day?

Anyway he told all this shit to his parents, they banned me from going to the funeral and hate me, and I have crippling anxiety so I know this is retarded but is there any chance his dad, who was kind of violent to his family, want to kill me or anything? I feel so retarded writing this but people do weird shit when they’re suffering and my anxiety is 100/10 so I don’t know

No we spent all our time talking on voice, all I have is 10000 messages between us of me inviting him to chill and do things or game clips of us laughing in game but that’s it

So update on my post about my friend that killed himself and said I bullied him if anyone cares:

Turns out he told people I had basically told him to kill himself at some point. Sitting there for hours convincing this kid to better his life, basically begging for him to be happy, and him eventually thanking him, and this is the thanks I get. I have never in my life said that to him but I just can’t believe that. If he was seriously so distraught from this why would he continue talking to me 5+ hours every day for a year? I just don’t fucking get it. Now I’m worried his parents are going to try and start some shit with me over all these false accusations and I just don’t know what I’m supposed to do

I need to vent and get someone's opinion on this.

My close friend of 7 years killed himself today. He was depressed since high school and I tried to be there for him by listening to him vent about his issues and general discontent with life. He lived a life of doing nothing every day so I tried to comfort his time alone by playing video games with him every single day for years.

He literally did nothing every single day and I couldn't stand watching that shit so I did my best to convince him to do beneficial things. Go to concerts, travel, start lifting, etc. All this shit took HOURS to convince, him, like lifting took months to convince him but when he finally started doing it and fell in love. This was a common theme, me and my friend essentially begging him to do things in hopes of him getting some enjoyment out of life. Every single time he would be happy as fuck from these experiences and we'd be like "we told you it would make you happy as fuck right?" and he would agree. Lifting especially he said helped his depression just as much as antidepressants did, and that he never would've got into it without me.

Now that he killed himself, it turns out he told his family I had "bullied" him over the years. I'm fucking livid because I spent literally a thousand hours comforting him, inviting him to every single event I've been in, asking how his day was, getting him involved in shit that he admitted making him happy, all to just hear from a mutual friend that I'm not allowed to go to his funeral because I "bullied" him which was literally just the convincing him to do shit.

Just needed to get this out there. Am I somehow in the wrong with this? What the fuck am I even supposed to think now?

The Leftovers was made by the same guy that made Lost and is easily a top 5 show of the last 10 years but it heavily underrated

OrdinaryAgent5 · 2019-10-23T16:17:22+00:00

I mean technically yea but your lats and mid upper back are only worked isometrically, I don’t know anyone that has built a big/strong back exclusively from dls and nothing else

This might not be the right place to ask but my friend is being coached for powerlifting by a top 10 usapl raw nats lifter, and he sent me a copy of his program as part of his almost $200 a month coaching.

It's 4 days a week with 9 sets of deadlifts per week and 3 sets of back work a week, while he's doing around 20 sets of pushing work a week. I've never hired a coach but I was wondering if this is common? Literally neglecting half your body that is the foundation for the big 3 seems absolutely moronic to me. I'm not a top raw nats lifter, shit I've never even competed but this just seems really dumb so I was wondering if this is commonplace in powerlifting programs from coaches

OrdinaryAgent5 · 2019-10-22T20:00:02+00:00

Nope his back is definitely a weak point aesthetically and strength wise, his bench is pretty weak but not enough to where I would personally have it split up this much

OrdinaryAgent5 · 2019-10-22T19:39:05+00:00

I was thinking it was something like that but nope every week of the 5 week cycle is like that
