Morning guys,
I've started going to the gym again only day two but the other day and today, I came out of the gym feeling quite overwhelmed, overstimulated and tired. I couldn't get home fast enough and I had to go to sleep to calm down and I feel better now but I can tell that I'm still quite sensitive to things going on around me.
I snapped at my dogs too when I came in because I couldn't handle it and now I feel bad because they were only happy to see me.
Does anyone else experience this?
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.
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
