In reply to exercise and panic disorder, posted by bassman on April 6, 2007, at 17:50:08
> When I'm having a trouble with panic disorder, as I am now, I find that exercise, even walking briskly for an hour, causes me to become very fearful. When I stop and rest, the fearfulness fades. Any ideas either why exercise might me fearful or what it means in terms of maybe there might be something else going on? I am in excellent physical health.
Try to find a low impact excersise first,more importantly if u can find one u enjoy,example for me roller skating,part of it is deep inside u dont wanna do it,ur stressing ur body and doing somethingu dont enjoy,if u enjoyed it the anxiety from it will be much less evident.
Also that whole enhphin is bunk,ive worked out hard since 16,and its just that,a rush,a adrenaline endophin rush,and if there is any good feeling its very brief followed by much longer period of anxiety.
Its a catch 22 however,not excersising and letting ur body become weak and unhealthy will make it that much harder,many times docs plain told my faimly if i were as strong physicaly as i am id be in much worse shape when i had interactions,my body is built strong and that comes in handy when i as a whole go through so much stress.
Its very important to keep a strong body while you build a strong mind,just dont do a excersise your not happy doing,find one such swiming,or something you can enjoy.
