Workout addiction destroying social life
I started working out regularly about a year ago. I started off slow by working out 3 days a week. But soon I started challenging myself to workout more and more as I started seeing results.

The result : Now I am addicted to workouts and I just have to workout every morning to feel good and to go about my daily activities.

Whenever I miss a day of workout, I get depressed as hell.

The problem : It is affecting my social life. Just today, a close friend called me over for lunch. However I declined the invitation just because I haven't done my excercises yet.

And now I am depressed for rejecting the invitation. And because of the depression, I still haven't worked out today, and so now I feel even more terrible.

Anybody here has gone through such an addiction to workouts ? How do you deal with it ?

Re: Workout addiction destroying social life
I think Ive had something simular to this in my life.

The core of the reason was low self esteem in myself like an inner confidence. I was trying to improve myself because I didnt feel adequate enough. I remember oneday I pushed myself very hard and the rest of the day I felt so weak and horrible(from the workout) it made me question a lot of things.

I eventually got into yoga and meditation and the same kind of pattern developed. I was really doing it for the wrong reasons. And oneday I guess I had, had enough Im not sure how i quit. I think i just stopped after years and years.

I think for any type of addiction its the same. You have to keep trying to stop, you have to keep trying to understand why. You just have to keep trying. Your aware its not effecting you healthy as long as you have that awareness oneday you will find what you need.
