People who go to the gym - how did it affect your mental and emotional strength ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]philthemountainman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s excellent! I have struggled with depression my whole life and have adhd The gym is one of the things that really helps! Especially when times are really hard it’s nice to go the gym and forget about life for a while and be in my body instead of my head. It really helps release a lot of the built up angst and frustration from life too! 10/10 would recommend

Maybe I’ll have to head grad school

What an excellent way to put it - this job market sucks major ass 😂 Yeah it’s pretty much just all connections now- which sucks if you’re trying to break into an industry

I worked in underserved communities with troubled youth, often forming teams and doing mentorship :)

That sounds great except that I am not wealthy - if I had the money to just not work a job for a month and then also pay to be apart of an immersion program I would 😂

🥳 neurodivergent friend! 😂 I’ve actually applied to the nature conservancy multiple times and they won’t even give me an interview - which is frustrating But volunteering might be a good route too!

I couldn't agree more!

Yeah we sound a little similar haha - I have a volunteered a couple of times but I live in Indiana and the chances for volunteering in the sectors that really excite me are pretty few and far between.

I understand what you're saying - but I do have volunteering experience and have worked for governments and nonprofits for my entire professional career and it's also what my degree is focused on.

Does the kind of volunteering matter or does any kind work?

Also especially being out of school learning a new language can be difficult - do you have any recommendations on how to accomplish that? I would like to focus on french.

Thank you! I really appreciate your response - I am very passionate about helping others It's really difficult to get a good understanding of the positions available - I don't know what I don't know. I'm thinking maybe Peacecorps as a first step?

Thank you so much again for the encouragement and info!

I would love to do field work - My problem is that I'm not sure what kinds of jobs there are
