key2thecup Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) I got a question for my fellow lifters, really need some opinions this crap is stressing me hard, I'm focusing more on this drama then the real priorities in my life.... Preface: I'm also battling depression. (med free) So for myself, smiling is like having my teeth pulled out, I just can't, I rarely do when I'm alone, only time I do is when I'm amongst or talking to my friends. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I started going to the rec center 5min walk from my house a few months ago... I've gone from a bloated 198lbs to a now leaner 169lbs, I feel better physically hands down. I am in now way a "big" guy, I consider myself skinny, although my friends say I'm just average. I would say, in my age group I'm probably the skinniest guy working out there. It has helped boost my mood, hasn't cured the depression but I do feel better. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When I started going, for about 2 1/2 - 3mnths I took this cheap pre-workout, super high in caffeine like 500mg/serving (cup of coffee is 60mg).... I'm sensitive to stimulants already, label warned for someone like me not to take it..... blah blah I went through 2 tubs of the crap, it helped me shed the weight, suppressed appetite and gave me hard jittery energy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now straight up, I would go super high on caffeine, music pounding in my ears. The receptionist(s) would smile and be polite, I would just "hi" or "hey" without smiling and go inside, the depression wouldn't let me smile and if I forced it, it would come across extremely fake and lame. After awhile I could tell they seemed to be annoyed at me, and I was labeled as "that guy" to them, I caught them a few times talking sh$% about me as I walked in (I look back there muttering something to each other while looking at me). The trainers stationed at the gym are obviously friends with the front staff, they started to give me dirty looks as well after awhile. So that's just the staff, now amongst the other gym goers.... I would catch myself staring at other guys/girls, in reality Im just so high on caffeine and distracted with my music thinking about 20 other things but gazing at someone, I would glance at other people in the mirror while lifting and it would be so obvious. It got to the point where I would write it on my hand to not stare at anyone. So here is this skinny guy, music loud, jittery on caffeine, staring at people, never smiling. I'm man enough to admit that I f'd up and brought this on myself. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So fast forward to now, I don't take caffeine, I don't blast my music and I don't stare as much as I did before. I just try and stare into my own eyes or watch my form in the mirror while lifting. Now, I still have depression, smiling is still a b&^tch for me, the front desk gives me the absolute evil eye when I walk in the door or they literally chuckle at me. The trainers all stare at me, frowning. There is like a crew of guys that frown at me whenever I walk in, and when I'm lifting, they walk by me puffing there chest out and eyeing me. Or they look at me and chuckle. The girls I stared at are obviously creeped out by me, they give me super weird looks whenever I'm near. It's so bad, that when I was walking back home the other day, one of the guys in his ride w/ his buddy, slowed down, pointed at me to his buddy and then gave me the look that he wants to scrap with me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ....... W T F am I suppose to do now? ...... I've thought of telling the staff that Im fighting depression and thats why I don't smile and that I don't mean it in a negative way, but (friends have told me) and I know, this will probably just be made into some joke and I'll be made out to be insane or f'd in the head. There's nothing I can do/say to the other gym goers without having the same result as above. This gym is a 5min walk for me, the other rec center (never gone too) is about a 10min drive for me. I'm literally the black-sheep and "that guy" at this gym. I just want to work out and improve my body and health, not deal with drama, I don't enjoy going anymore, I hate it because of this. ............ What do I do? , What would you do in my situation? I hope someone actually reads this whole rant and gives me some good advice / perspective.

(+'s given) Honestly could it be that you are simply just over thinking things and its not exactly how you are thinking it is? Could honestly be mistakenly thinking all of that. Anyways my advice, workout with a friend, totally will distract you. Or try and speak to the staff? Or let your friend talk to them for you? If not, move on to another gym. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, move on to another gym. No doubt that, definetly is how I'm saying it..... my friends go to the gym close to them, can't really say anything to the staff without it being made into a joke, I think all I can do is drive to the other gym now.

Chicken. Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 If its that hostile then find a new gym.. theres an abundance in most cities But as LeanBeef said.. working out should be for yourself first and foremost. You shouldn't care what other people are thinking, unless you're breaking the rules. If you mind your own business and start getting ripped I'm sure their opinion will change 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess, f 'em, I'm going to just go there 2 times a week, and goto the other gym up the street, I just liked going to this one cause it's right by my house and I just walk but they don't have a bench press, squat rack, deadlift rack or preacher curl station (all of which the other gym has).....

I think you're over-looking things due to your depression. People with depression often over-think things and make small situations into something bigger. Maybe the guy just wanted to see if you were the guy from his gym when he drove past you, and nothing more. I remember when i dealt with slight depression (due to a death in my family) i always thought that i was gonna get jumped and thought I was getting set up and couldn't trust anyone (not even my closest friends). But anyways, I would try going to the other gym but if that isn't working for you, go back to your other gym, lay off the caffeine and talk to the people you think that wanna jump you. Just start off with "Hey, sorry to bother you but i was wondering if you knew any pre-workout supplement i can take? I've been taking caffeine for some time now and i've noticed i've been jittery, frequently staring at people and its actually been causing me to be slightly depressed". Even if you don't need another pre-supplement, just talk to them anyways, it'll help. Anyways, don't be worried at whoever judges you, you're there to workout, it boosted your mood and you feel better so postives > negatives and besides, the caffeine making you do weird things, but its also helping you workout. Hope you can solve this situation, be sure to give updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sucks because you feel like you lost all your gains you worked for in the last month because you're sitting on you butt for 2 weeks straight. Working out between all the studying would probably be really beneficial, but I just don't wanna lose that time. I have 4 exams in 7 days. Finally done on Wednesday!

It sucks because you feel like you lost all your gains you worked for in the last month because you're sitting on you butt for 2 weeks straight. Working out between all the studying would probably be really beneficial, but I just don't wanna lose that time. I have 4 exams in 7 days. Finally done on Wednesday! Same, 4 in 6 days however. (Week before that was busy with tons of homework and quizzes) So I really do not have any time to waste, haven't even been able to play GTA online for more than 20 minutes 2 more days and we are both free Edit: do you still pound the calories when not lifting? If Im not going to the gym for an extended period of time I pull back on the calories to an amount where I'd be "cutting" I only eat big, when I lift, dont want to go through a huge bulk where I'll cut for over month, so I just go a little over maintenance.
