I thought I heard you can be addicted to working out. It just makes my moods, anxiety, and self esteem better.

No. I did 45min of HIIT at 2am and have been walking/running around the city most of the day in 95F heat and this is sooooooooooo much healthier than talking through my trauma and fighting guards when I threaten to turn a vending machine into a bomb when someone walks in the building with the same hair color as just somebody that I used to know.

Just kidding. I’m hallucinating and have at least 5 muscle spasms upon starting to digest large meals that I am now craving because I burn so much more than I take in and that takes a helluva toll.

But don’t be afraid to workout if it makes you feel good, just moderate and do a variety of exercises and take rest days and keep an eye on if being inactive and having a second to FEEL THINGS makes you want to jump from tall places. (don’t be like me and do HIIT daily and obsess about getting at least a dozen miles in a day or couple dozen if I take the bike at any point).

Still yes, though, considering you have an ED too, right? Or is it no? Or I don't know? Or I'm not making any sensitive right now?

That's how I feel ATM b/c I struggle with overexercise too.

Right, yeah? And don/t drink any coffee b/c you haven't slept, you have a pounding headhache from caffeine w/drawal and you've been extremely sick with a stomach virus Fri. night to Monday morning?!!! And you maybe can keep coffee down, but maybe not and don't dringk it! But, the headache, the illenss, the ED, the \bipolar, the OCD,. the panic distroder, the Ptsd has too stay undwer conrtol to. just hold it together. j Wiat? Oh, no! My family almost took me to the psych ER this weekend too?

Can I still drink coffee & exercise? Well, considering I have an ED.

This is why EDs suck. Food and movement can’t be totally avoided like alcohol and oxy if you have an addiction surrounding it/eating disorder. When does walking to get my meds cross into putting in as many activities at different areas of town I have to walk/run/bike to just so I spend like 14 hours a day being active territory?

I did get a bit depressed a couple hours ago so I went and did a bunch of sit ups and squats. The same thing happened 45 minutes ago. But I don't feel achy after. I just feel better mental health wise.

An ED, you said? What's that an ED?

Maybe an ED. Could be an eating disorder or not. Maybe I have an ED! You think I have erectile dysfunction right now?

Sure no, problem, I'm might even have an ED. Being born in 1978 and being close to 50 years old at this point. I'm sure you understand.

An ED IS an eating disorder. Right, nothing esle could be farther from the truth at thisa point!!!!!! You may even be a woman, I mean, considering you posted pics opf yourself (that's me, not you unless I really forgot). Don't worry.
