How I Stopped Being Lonely With Fitness

One of the things that was a huge problem when I was dealing with my severe bouts of depression and anxiety was isolation.

I would push myself away from people because I thought it would be better for me and for others around me.

This led me down an even worse path of loneliness to where I believed there was nothing left in this world.

I contemplated suicide regularly.

The turning point was the decision that I believed there HAD to be more for me.

I was too hard-headed to quit on myself.

So I got into fitness.

And that helped me in more ways than one.

In fitness, I noticed that there were communities of people that actually wanted to support my journey.

They wanted me to succeed.

In my gym, I would find that I gravitated towards people on the same journey as me.

I would find that many of them were battling similar demons like I was.

I wasn’t alone.

Fast forward to years later, I know some AMAZING people into fitness and they have truly helped me get through some really rough times.
