Not Just An Obsession- A Neccessity!!!

[Smiler]

After exercising a GREAT amount for nearly five years, a foot/ankle injury FORCED me to STOP EXERCISING ALTOGETHER.Even lifting weights meant I had to stand or put weight on my foot, which I wasn't able to do.

**** months later, i'm still unable to exercise, and from this, i've made a big discovery!

I CANNOT SURVIVE WITHOUT EXERCISE. MY BODY NEEDS IT. MY MIND NEEDS IT. EVERYDAY SEEMS QUITE STRUCTURELESS AND INCOMPLETE WITHOUT IT, AND I FEEL LIKE I'M CRAWLING OUT OF MY SKIN.

I HAVE CONSTANT EXCESS ENERGY, AND NOTHING SEEMS TO MEAN ANYTHING ANYMORE.

I NEED THAT "FEELING"/RELEASE/SOMETHING TO WORK TOWARDS ETC. IT IS ON MY MIND ********/****!!!!!!!

If exercise were just an obsession, i would have thought that after **** months without it, the "drug effect" would have gone away- BUT IT'S PREDOMINANTLY STRONGER!

Does this make sense/can anyone relate/is it just me etc. etc.???!!!!!!

sounds to me that the issue is more like an obsession...

"I CANNOT SURVIVE WITHOUT EXERCISE. MY BODY NEEDS IT. MY MIND NEEDS IT. EVERYDAY SEEMS QUITE STRUCTURELESS AND INCOMPLETE WITHOUT IT, AND I FEEL LIKE I'M CRAWLING OUT OF MY SKIN. "

I would discuss these feelings with your therapist so that the issues surrounding this can be brought to the open and faced.

I am closing this pre-emptively.
