Lol “master in exercise”

People just need to walk and do yoga

Weight training is for the pathetic

Marathon running is a form of addiction, so is working out/lifting weights

I think you're both idiots. I don't doubt you are both confined you're right, however. That doesn't actually make you right, though.

Admit your mental health issue have you both eat too much and powerlifting. They are symptoms of a mental health issue just like drugs and alcohol.

Do you like demonstrating just how brain-dead and scientifically illiterate you are?

I’m not the PP, I am just curious about how deep your stupidity runs.

Exercise addiction

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3210598/

People who exercise three or four times a week for an hour do not have mental illness. They’re setting themselves up to be strong in old age. With any luck you’ll be hit by a bus tomorrow and out of everyone’s misery.

Sure you clearly have no mental illness

You don’t need a “trainer” to exercise.

Powerlifting is a mental illness?!

No people powerlifting, run marathons, do an Ironman because they have a mental illness … it’s an escape

I’m going to guess that just like anything else, it has to cause social problems, problems at work, problems with your health, and you have to put yourself in dangerous situations to obtain it in order for it to be called an addiction.

I guess that if you are spending a ton of your time exercising m, continuing to exercise despite knowing that you have an injury and need to stop, you are missing work in order to exercise or not functioning well when you do go because of your over exercise, and your spouse is threatening divorce because you are exercising too much, then it’s an addiction.

I don’t get that from the fat power lifter mom though.

Tons of addicts don’t have social or work issues.

Tons of mentally ill people have full and complete lives.

It better to get the therapy and learn to meditate and slow the mind down so you can stand to be alone with yourself … many obsessively do something like powerlifting, marathon running, etc This is not a person lifting small weights, high reps for health.

I’m a psychiatrist, and there is something that rubs me the wrong way about this “exercise as mental illness” line, but I can’t quite articulate it.

- it’s pejorative
- it makes it sound like mental illness isn’t real. Like it’s all people living in Colorado doing Ironmans rather than people living in jails and homeless shelters and crappy group homes
- somehow I think that as these things become more accepted, the Ironman runners take up more resources, and the schizophrenics become more and more marginalized

How are you a psychiatrist and you don’t know about obsessively working out to deal with mental illness. Do you know obsessive eating is a way to deal with mental illness?

Also nobody is pejorative about being mentally ill. Nobody said I hate mentally ill people.

But when you see anybody doing anything obsessively it because they have an underlying mental illness.

Here is something pejorative, I’m sad for your patients. But really you just prescribe meds so.

I used to be of this position until I tried to adopt a dog and it was a terrible experience--unnecessarily restrictive. There's a reason why people say it's harder to adopt a dog than it is to get a gun. We went to a reputable breeder and I'm so happy that option exists.

Friend I suggest you look up the concept of walking meditation or moving meditation and consider whether someone who prefers to work through their thoughts with movement and does not find that it adversely affects their social, financial, or emotional life is someone who we would term an addict in the pejorative sense you seem to be attributing to it. Perhaps you are addicted to whatever kind of meditation you think PP should be doing?
