I have experienced that if skip even one day after 8 hour of physical labor streak my energy levels suddenly go to the bottom and I start to feel super bad. It’s quite strange because I do not think I could not be depressed if I had a sedentary job. Sedentary things just destroy me. Also I like and wanted job in programming/cs so yeah. Gotta career switch or something apparently because cardio in the evening isn’t enough, I am like golden retriever. Only truly satisfied when all my muscles ache at the end of the day. And also I need immediate results out of my work

    I found an office job was too physically limiting so I have a treadmill desk, became a volunteer firefighter, and do powerlifting. It’s the only way I keep stable

      That’s very noble, I am way too big of a snowflake to see stuff that firefighters must see. I think it would mess with my head

        Yeah it can be pretty disturbing. Being a volunteer helps, you can take a break to process trauma if you see something upsetting. I don’t think I would want to do this for a career, it’s too hard to have to just keep grinding after a terrible call.
