Hi, Daken. How's it going?

Hey cheers, It's going haha.

The reason for my earlier post? Typed out this long ass deeply personal message, then accidentally wiped the whole lot. So yeah, fuck it.

Edited because I felt like it.
 
Haha, I didn't exactly eat sushi with him. He was sitting at the table directly behind me. I took a pic of him and my wife, I'll post it in my log. He had the trt Mohawk and everything. That sucker ate like 6 different rolls, too.
 
Thoughts on the Brown/Lawler fight?

It went pretty much as expected. Brown tried to pressure Lawler but unlike Brown's previous opponents Lawler has the skills to counter and land hard shots of his own. Brown looked really good in the clinch, I think he could have won if he had been able to utilize it more. That said, Lawler did some good work defending the clinch and landing some big shots of his own.

Overall a fun fight with Lawler proving why he's a top 5 WW and Brown isn't. I think Brown needs another fight against a top 10 welterweight. He'll beat anyone outside of the top 10/15 but I don't think he has the skills to get a title shot, though I'd love for him to prove me wrong.
 
I can't put my finger on it but something was weird about Lawler's performance.

I'm amed he won and it was a great fight but.... unsure.
 
Biggest question of the commonwealth games.

Haha nice.

So I know Crossfit might not be the most popular thing around here... But the final event of the games is gonna happen in a few minutes. Im watching it.
 
I watched the games too.

I booked an appointment with a therapist, for the record. None too soon either because I'm feeling as bad about life as I ever have these past few days.

Kind of inspired by Porch Rabbit being open about his experience in order to help me, I've decided I'm gonna log what I do with the therapist as well as my lifting. Maybe it might help someone out. It's a bit embarrassing to admit to but it's something I'm going to have to deal with and probably someone else will at some point too.
 
Any of you bros need help taking your shirt off?

Hey, man. I'm glad you are seeking some help, when I read your post earlier I was hoping you would do that. I have my issues with that stuff after I got out of the military. Other stuff, too, but talking to a trained professional can really help make sense of everything. I usually talk to the psychiatrist only like once or twice a year, but even that helps me manage.

The mind is kind of like the body in that it can adapt to a lot things. After some years I kind of just figured out how to adapt to it. It still gets bad sometimes, though. Meds could be an option, years ago tried some for a few months, but I didn't like the side effects so I stopped.
 
It's cool that crossfit is becomming a bit more socially acceptable. Maybe in the future we will have some celebrities coming out of the carage box and be a crossfitter openly.

Happy to hear that, Ethan. I'll be following at least because I find it interesting.
 
I don't mind crossfit anymore, but the games are hard to watch certain events, WSM got it right with the length of their events. I still think the typical box is full of shit and is a bunch of accidents waiting to happen.

Good to hear, man. Many of us have been down that road before. Logging it here will be interesting- will probably be a helpful tool for you as well, to be able to look at and see how your frame of mind changes during different periods, and see what has affected you in different ways.

All the best, dude.

Hey man, good for you. I hope this works out for you.

Several of my friends had to seek PTSD therapy after deployments. No shame in reaching out for help.

Happy to hear. Biggest piece of advice I can give is to have patience. You might leave the first session pissed off or upset because you feel like nothing was accomplished. It's a process. It wasn't until after 2 months of weekly sessions that I was even able to admit I had a problem and started working with the therapist. Then it was another few months before things started to get better. So just be patient with the process. I wish you luck.
