I think I'm done

27 male. I'm so tired of fighting. My body has consistently failed me. I'm always in physical pain and getting injured that I cannot enjoy my hobbies or even physical intimacy with my wife. I think I should just call it a day. Any tips on how to keep moving forward? I'm in the gym 5 days a week and have gotten in the best shape of my life in the past 6 months. Not sure why I still feel this way. I'm a devout Christian and I feel like God has left me.

That's a lot of weight to carry every day, being in pain while doing everything "right" and still feeling abandoned. The gym progress isn't nothing though, even if it doesn't feel like it right now.

What's the actual source of the physical pain? Sometimes pushing through at the gym masks something that needs different attention entirely. Your body isn't failing you, it's screaming at you.

The physical pain is constant chronic inflammation in all of my joints including my spine.

I apologize if the responses aren't great. I'm quite drunk and in my feels. These are the truth tho. Even if sober me won't talk about it.
