The Church of Iron

The gym is infinitely more therapeutic than this 'talking about my feelings' bullshit. Or getting blackout drunk. Or, uhh, therapy. It's taken more 5 or so months to ease back into the routine and be able to start making progress, but I'm happy I've done it this way. I've tried to keep my injury risk as low as possible and I have yet to injure myself, touch wood. I've been able to pretty consistent about going 4-5 times a week, by only going for an hour at a time and not burning myself out too much. I've tried to keep things light, build my confidence, and resist the temptation to lift with my ego.

And finally, I am seeing progress. My lifts are slowly going up. I see some small physical differences. I feel slightly better about my body, and I feel better in general. 10/10 heartily recommend the church of iron.
