Not working out gives me bad anxiety To the point where my doctor even says I need to rest more and give myself rest days. I just can’t I just need to work out for hours every days it honestly helps my anxiety and relaxes me.

Thank you so much is just so hard. I enjoy working out so much, But I know at the same time, it’s making my Heath levels low, I now need to put on more weight. Idk it’s just hard I’m also hard on myself. If I do rest for a day I just feel gross.

im not saying its for sure but ive had experience myself & the things ur saying op sound an awful lot like OCD w a fixation on exercise where u obsess over exercising & if u cant exercise enough u get anxious & so u give in & exercise just to ease that anxiety & make urself feel okay again (which is the compulsion & the C part of OCD). this feeds into the cycle of obsession & compulsion & makes the ocd that much stronger & harder to fight

I’m hard on myself so I feel like I’ve didn’t do enough. I go on my treadmill every day for 3 hours. But I feel like if I do anything less than I didn’t do good enough, I didn’t try hard enough, at the most I try to give myself only like 2 rest days a month. but I know it’s not good. I know I’m doing wrong but. Just doing it every day it makes me feel so much better. I don’t like sitting still, but I don’t even know what else I can do to make myself move without creating problems.
