this past month i’ve been going through a bit of a mental health crisis because i’ve been having to deal with extremely heavy workloads, shitty company, social isolation and burnout. i have literally no time or energy to do anything other than bed rot all day if i’m not doing work and i was considering suicide for some time.
when i decided to go to my muay thai gym the other day (i hadn’t been in a while because of afformentioned mental health issues), my coach saw me and asked with a seemingly excited smile “where’ve you been, mate? you haven’t come in so long, it’s nice to have you back!”
i knew he could probably tell that i was ‘special’ and i’m definitely not his ‘favorite’ by any means, which i’m okay with, but i didn’t think that he would actually notice or really care about my recent spike in absence enough to inquire about it. for a moment, i felt like i wasn’t alone anymore. that i’m not just dead weight. that i mattered.
should i switch gyms?
