is it possible? thoughts?
I had very bad symptoms when I pushed my body with wieghts or sports and did not get way more than average sleep and days off for recovery.
When I first started back to vigourous sports I could still feel sore a week afterward without doing anything physical for that time.
I’ve heard something like this happen to someone on this site before. Don’t remember there name, but it is possible.
Is healthier not to think in this manner. Do the activities you need to take care of yourself, try work if you desire, do a few things you ‘want’ and just keep moving. Need to have some social contact with people who accept you and treat you okay…(If on SSI, check with case manager before working as it affects your Medicaid eligibility.) If you just keep trying to do ‘normal’, you probably find you function well enough. Pray and you will be pushed through it, for whatever reason…GOD or whatever reason you wish to think.
Can have some funky tactile sensations sometimes…heart palpitations, anything else including orgasms. Stretch a bit and keep workout moderate if you don’t feel great next day, maybe cross train doing something else part of the time…Yoga is major help, we don’t really even fell anything but calm & exertion is almost always comfortable.
I wouldn’t think so, but people can respond differently to the same stimulus. I did a weight workout like I did when I was young, and I was in terrible pain for three weeks, but it was physical pain, not mental. If you think weight training is causing to relapse maybe you should modify your workout or quit it all together.
I workout intensively for almost 2 hour a day,Did I get symptoms?No,in fact I am getting better health wise,both physically and mentally.
You probably need to be patient and start slow by not jumping into high intensive workout
High intensity training is proven to be excellent for both physical and mental health. Appropriate warm-up routines (low intensity cardio, dynamic stretching [definitely NOT static stretching] and purposeful build up of weight towards working weight with a focus on correct technique) are essential. Maybe, as another user alluded, the adrenaline, endorphin and testosterone boosts caused an elevation of mood that then promoted hypomania? No idea what your symptoms were or why you have been previously been admitted.
Don’t “over-train”. Full stop. Recovery is just as important. No point putting all the hard work to then disallow the appropriate recovery phase. Technique should be number one focus, not amount of weight. Recovery comes in close second.
I haven’t been doing any weight lifting for years, but so you know where I’m coming from, my achievements before I lost interest (and had kids and lost time) were:
Body weight at time: 125lb (I’m 5’1)
1RM (Single repitition maximum, for those unsure)
Squat: 400 LB
Deadlift: 385 LB
Benchpress: 215 LB
Overhead Press: 180LB
My mental health had never been better at the time. Physical health - I was never fitter. Technique is everything! I see too many injuries arise from ego-first approaches where correct technique has never been properly developed.
If you’re concerned about possibly over-training, it might pay to have a PT analyse your regime and give you some feedback
Hopefully you weren’t taking any growth hormones or steroids etc. - that will mess your mind up for sure. And your balls lol I never took anything more than creatine and a strong coffee
