I know posts pop up all the time about excersise being useful.I would never argue the benifits of excersise on overall health,especialy the heart.
BUT i lift weights and have since 16,and as my anxiety grew worse i noticed my workouts are much harder.After a workout im a rockter propelled ball of adrenaline.I had to learn to pace my workouts,work on my breathing and pace myself.
I also make sure i work out before i take medication,or i render it useless.I am sure i am not the only one who finds intense excersise to agavate anxiety.Im glad i built most of my foundation when i was a teen and dident have these problems,so now im lucky enough to cut back on workouts,which i have found i HAD to do,yet not loose any gains.
Because of my anxiety i am very careful when i approach workouts,whereas as a teen i just would bang weights for hrs.A hard workout now is hard on my anxiety,i feel the pour of adrenaline,if i were recomending excersies as a therputic tool for anxiety,id prob recomend swimming.
