How does depression make YOU physically feel?

Even though I don’t look like I workout, it’s one of the few things that gives me satisfaction. But there are lots of moments where I see genetically gifted guys and it sucks knowing I can’t have the physique of my dreams. At the end of the day, there’s always someone bigger/better, so I have to be content.

Tired, worn out, unmotivated, sad. Very hard to get out of bed in the morning. I've been working 48 hours a week lately which actually helps because it feels like I'm accomplishing something.

Some people will say I'm "wage slaving" but it beats being home alone with nothing to do.

i've been perma depressed for the past 7 years because of my looks to the point where i dont even know if im depressed or not anymore, its just constant stress, anxiety, lack of focus, erectile disfunction and sleepiness without any reason

For me when i really got sad, like when i was in the thick of it, my body would get physically exhausted i would have to lie down, and it feels like there is a pretty big pressure on my chest, like a boot or something. Sometimes, it feels like there is an icecube stuck inbetween my ribcage (lmao dont laugh at me im just trying to describe how i literally physically feel 😂😂😂) I dont really cry anymore tbh. Like i dont sob or anything. Maybe i tear up and shed like a tear or two, but thats it. I actually dont know whens the last time i had a good cry/sob. Probably when i was a little kid.
