Feeling overstimulated and sensitive after exercise

Oh yeah, the gym is too much for me... I prefer exercising at home/walking.

I think it’s a bit of both but I prefer the gym because I’m lifting weights I also don’t have a park like that near me the gym is more convenient hopefully it’ll just take some time to get used to then new routine it’s also because the gym was bought by another company and it all changed inside so I had to find my way around it again

Is it the fact that you're doing exercise, or is the gym environment? I usually always feel more happy and less stressed when I come back from exercise. Can you do a workout outdoors instead? I like to jog to a park and then try to do pullups on the football goal. I prefer it to the gym, especially in hot weather.

Yeah - it's so dependant on who does it - some are brilliant,      I always let them have the bulging vein in my right elbow - although it totally freaks me out.

maybe sleep for a bit?

I crashed for an hour - feeling a bit more human now.

I can only drink REALLY clean water & add minerals back in. I can't work out in the morning, makes my heart feel weird. I also do not eat before...but have walnuts in the car to steady my blood sugar after. I've def gone through this--some days, I feel great after a workout...other days, total crap. I think it's normal.

u need to start really slowly,, dont overdo the weights in day 1,2 etc  It takes approx. 2-10 weeks for your body to adjust.  If they have TVs focus on them when in the gym. 

It all depends on what u are doing eg weights, running machines, rowing machines ( deadly ) ?

motivation is always a hard thing in anything. i consider my time watching tv to be time that i can be lifting weights while watching the tv. thats how i do it, its a upgrade to just watching the tv doing nothing at all but sitting. it doesnt make you feel like you wasted time but rather than you used time more efficiently. plus you can time yourself by shows lengths if you wanted too. used to do that with excercise bike mainly, start on bike start of a show and stop that when that show ends so i dont do too little, or too much, mainly so i dont wuss out and do too little though lol

That's good I wanted to go to the gym though because I wanted to get out of my house for a bit and paying for a membership gives me some motivation to actually exercise because I'm not wasting my money

I drink quite a lot it's all I really drink, water, tea and milk are pretty much all I drink. I have the occasional coffee 

How much water ya drinking?

i hate blood tests... i went in for one ages ago and expected it to only be a barely feelable sting like a vaccination, felt more like being stabbed and mauled lol i might have drawn the short straw on doctor i guess lol

i generally dont go to gyms, have weights at home myself.
i do martial arts classes though and it can be like a emotional melting pot for me, but i manage to keep it to myself mostly.... i think...

Yeah that sounds horrible maybe sleep for a bit? might help wake up and be able to think better?

Yeah - I'm sitting on the sofa feeling a bit burned out - been massively overstimulated this morning - heavy rush-hour traffic to get to early an blood test (yuck), then a meeting building control to have my project signed off as complete (mega-relief stress) and I've got a little bucket-list thing organised for Friday (a visit to my old school).

I'm frazzled.     Can't motivate or think straight.

I'm going early in the mornings to avoid it being crowed so I've eliminated any issues with it being busy it's just the exercise it's self 

Yes, definitely at first. But it does calm down for me after several visits and I get used to the environment etc. Any new exercise can feel like this for me, even if 'new' means getting back to something I haven't done for months. I always found gyms to be particularly busy for sensory things, but if my motivation and enjoyment were strong, I could keep going regardless.
