Active lifestyle and more anxiety

I know I’m losing weight because my anxiety has been on 10 😵‍💫 when I was not active my anxiety was nowhere to be found, but now that I actually move a lot, spend all day outside of the house and eat better my anxiety is h o r r i b l e.

I also find it hard to maintain a workout routine because of anxiety, like as soon as I start running on a regular basis my anxiety is back to a million. Having anxiety my whole life has been so crippling on certain levels 🙁 I don’t know what to do because I know I need to workout but the anxiety of working out is not bad. I really don’t want to take SSRI or always have to take hydroxyzine, thoughts?

I meant to say that the anxiety of working out is so bad, the aftermath. It’s something about it making my thoughts race more and sometimes I get the shakes.

On the flip side, I can have paralyzing depression that makes me just want to lay in bed because I’m very sad. I just find that it’s hard to create mental balance with myself. Having a routine has been nice, but I know I need to workout.
