The Vikings Road To Getting Leaner

didnt train today and i will be honest i am on sick tonight at work couldnt face the place at the minute.

I rapped in smoking months ago and i had a relapse about 2months ago, i packed in again 3 weeks ago and have the beloved man flu abit.

Plus i had depression quite bad last year and i just dont feel right i dont know if that tied in with the fags or what but i feel like ****

Make sure you dont stay shut up in your house then , get out a bit and talk to people I went through a bit of depression and dindt come out my house , I would go out once a week in the middle of the night to get food and thats it.

Quiting smoking prob has made you feel **** but keep it up you will be better of for it in the end. Hopefully you will be ok when you have had some rest and things get bk to normal :)

Its being a long long time guys but i have returned, i think i need too rename this diary the missing years. The last 5-6 years have being hell for me.

I have struggled really badly with depression/anxiety/mental illness, i also developed mild agoraphobia and i have spent time in hospital basically on suicide watch is the best way too put it. I went through in 2011 redundancy at work, and a relationship separation, me and my partner have now reconciled but we have had financial worries we nearly lost our house etc

I was diagnosed after years and years on different depression meds with cyclothymia, my new meds are working. A lot of these meds wont mean alot too people but i have being on sertraline, lithium, citalophram, mirtazipine, fluoxetine, etc Currently i am on a drug called Quetiapine and i am slowly getting back too reality i am working again i am back too the gym.


I forgot i even had this journal. I wish i looked like i did in that pic :-(

I will post on here regular re updates. I havent had a look through the forum in years i hopefully can help guys with any advice re mental health etc re weight training its being years.
