Is it too late for me?

Stop bitching, start working on yourself.

Nigga please, I didn't start TRP seriously until I was in my early 30's.

Get your hormones checked first. Read the wiki over at /r/testosterone and follow it to the iota. Post results there. Don't trust a doc.
Stop whining. Nobody gives a fuck if you decide to get your ass up or not. Especially not here. Nobody is interested in convincing you. If we have to, you won't do it anyways.
Stop contemplating, start doing. The hill will not suddenly become smaller. Take a shovel and start shoveling it away. No matter how big it looks, it will inevitably shrink over time.
Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Try changing first. You can easily kill yourself later if you still want to. You'll never find out what kind of man you are if you do it now.

You're just 22 and have a long and fruitful life ahead. Trust me it does get better, but you have to put in the work. I keep reading on RP that 31 is the age where things start to really pick up and your twenties should be used to better yourself physically and mentally.

Yes amazing transformations do happen but you have to put in the work and give it time. Rome wasn't built in a day. Try giving up social media, go to the gym and read more.

Lifting heavy will come later on- first get used to the movements and practice good form. There are a ton of programs out there for beginners (e.g. stronglifts 5x5) where you gradually add the weight. Once you start lifting you will become hungrier and eat more. You can supplement with the weight gainer shakes like Tru Mass and you will be putting on weight in no time.

Have a positive mindset and develop a solid routine- you will progress. In regards to career, I can just say do something you enjoy and through experience/trial and error, you will find what's best for you.

Good luck.

I was depressed for about 8 years. The reality is that depression, as we regard it in western society, isn't real. At least in my own experience, my "depression" was the result of my personal development stagnating for a very long and arduous part of my life. Feeling depressed is a result of not taking any personal responsibility to gain the things you want from life. It is a state of excuses and unwillingness to make absolutely necessary changes to reset the course of your life to something fruitful.

The best advice I can give you at the beginning is from Jordan Peterson: "Clean your room". Start with fixing the smallest issues first. Once you taste those victories, you can slowly start putting bigger challenges on your plate. Also, remove anything from your life that gives you an artificial sense of accomplishment. For most men, these things are porn and video games.

There’s plenty of info on these two subs to help get your shit together. Read confessions of an incel on TRP sidebar.

Fuck monk mode. That is not a all-purpose-wonder-tool.

As to your question: No, it is never too late. You've wasted some years, but the biggest part of your life is ahead of you, roughly 3/4 of it. Want to enjoy that or not?

If you wait until you're 40 it's still not too late, you just wasted another 20 years and it gets harder. But it is not too late to live a great life from that point on, no matter how much you fucked up the last 10, 20, 30 years. Cannot change the past, but doesn't mean your future has to be a repetition of the shit before.

Good luck!

Well, you just have to do it. Imagine you'd just work out one year, with perfect diet and you'll have the body you always wanted and all girls desire. And this takes literally just 10 or less hours a week to achieve and this is just one example.

W_O_M_B_A_T · 2018-08-03T06:20:52+00:00

Yep. Youre right. It can't be "already over" if it was never a possibility at all.

Whether you think you can do a thing, or think you can't do it, you're right.

You can ask yourself the same question in 2 years and then have wasted those two years not improving, you will never be younger than the current moment you are in

I’m not gonna hold your hand and tell you everything’s gonna be roses. You wanna be something then you gotta work for it. You don’t work for something then your life will suck. It boils down to YOU. It’s 100% your fault if you fail 100% your credit if you achieve. The only reason you’ll fail is because you’re too lazy to work on yourself. That includes your mental self. It’s up to you.

TRP gives you the playbook. Do what you want with it.

Find meds that work for you, see a therapist to work through your anorexia, and understand how young you are and you have so much ahead of you.

You are literally still a baby at the start of your journey. Take time to take care of your body and mind and love yourself. All good things come from wanting the best for yourself.
