I am an artist and animator and am so addicted to playing volleyball that i must work out and play daily for 2-3 hours. I tried quitting but i find my self on court the following day.
In july 2021, I was so depressed I was crying at my desk, I couldn't sleep at night because of anxiety and back pain from being at my computer +9 hours a day, popping xanax to function and smoking a pack a day. I joined a gym 5 minutes away and I decided that before a cigarette and the xanax, the first time in the day I'd feel like crying I would go for a hiit workout on the elliptical. The first few times I puked and cried, but I persisted and now I've quit cigarettes and the xanax is there only for major emergencies. I sleep much better because my back is healthier. and no more crying or tension headaches. Exercise is a blessing.
