I know that compulsive exersizing is a symptom of eating disorders and a form of eating disorders. Ive had it as my main consumer of my ed. But could it be considered like a form of ocd? Like constantly needing to exercise and move?

Yes, I think it has been labeled as some sort of addiction, anyway, in some people. Like if people just can't prevent themselves from running and even run to the point where they know it's too much, but they still have to do it.

Yeah that could definitely be a form of OCD. As long as it has an "obsession" and a "compulsion". So if you have an obsession about getting sick and dying and so you compulsively exercise in order to stay healthy, then I think that can be seen as OCD. But at the same time, I guess it could be seen as many other things and so proper evaluation is important, at least I think so. I hope that helps .
