So, like my title says, i think weight lifting and fitness has become a bit too much of an obsession to me. Starting with a background story : I am a 20 years old man, started lifting at 18 after i almost died in a car crash. I was drinking a lot at that time and had issues with drugs too, which led me to being somewhat overweight. I have a pretty obsessive personality, so once i started working out, it took me a week to get hooked, 5 months later i was in the best shape of my life, but still drinking sometimes and living a normal life. Fast forward a year : no more drinking, no more seeing people except my girl because every person my age likes get a drink on weekends, gf founds me boring asl because i never want to do shit, i track everything i eat, i obsess over sleep and i research before doing anything minor to know if it will impact my muscle growth and fitness goals. To sum it up : i’m starting to burn out from being so fucking reclusive with my lifestyle. I started drinking occasionally again a couple weeks ago, maybe 5-6 drinks on fridays, and i can’t stop fucking worrying about my testosterone and hydration and all that shit. « Will my workout just cause my muscles to go in a catabolic state because of dehydration and lower mps? » « will my t levels recover in time for my workouts to be good this week » I would’ve preferred to live like before, with limited knowledge and a good physique nonetheless, but now i just know so much shit that i question everything i do. Keep in mind I’m in my 20’s, and i know technically what I’m doing is good, but i can’t help but wan’t to live a more balanced lifestyle without it fucking with my head. This text might sound stupid, im french and wrote it on a whim but eh, i’d like to have opinions, or tips to help me just let go a bit cause its becoming so draining.
