Just want to confirm if this is anxiety or something else related to bipolar

Months ago I posted having a difficult time trying to workout. I would have an inner dialogue with myself that was mostly reasons not to go. I feel that was anxiety. Now I find it easier to go after having my meds tweaked and wellbutrin providing a strong activating motivation to go, however I still have that inner dialogue that once in a while I cave in and not go. So my question is this anxiety and should I ask my psychiatrist for something else? I'm on klonopin I feel that it works to calm me but takes a while. I was previously on Ativan and Xanax and they didn't work at the dosage given. I'm thinking if it is anxiety I can ask for maybe a higher dose of Xanax or something else. Please share any opinions. Thank you and I hope your day was well.

I wish it was those reasons for me! Mine is that I plain hate working out! I always say next Monday, next Monday! Then I get self conscious about the weight I've put on and how I'll look in the gym. If I was taking more Xanax, I wouldn't be able to go at all. It makes me tired and not want to do anything. I don't know if this helps or not but I think most people have this problem whether they have and mental issues or not! Hugs

The problem was I use to love going to the gym and still do, I just started this internal conflict when I hit bottom almost 2 years ago. I take klonopin sometimes before going and it does quiet my mind a bit. None of the benzo's that I have been on have made me tired or sleepy.

This. Is. My. Life.

I can't believe you are seeking medication for that!! Gee they really will medicate anything. Absolutely insane to medicate someone because occasionally they don't feel like doing it. Ridiculous and dangerous.

I agree... I call it lack of motivation / laziness for myself. Everybody has this same inner dialogue ongoing every now and then...
