I admire your honesty. When I am super stressed (physically, emotionally) or under a lower level but chronic stress almost every bit of me gets out of whack.

Exercise makes us feel good due to endorphins and feeling of accomplishment and just appreciating the environment. When we suddenly are forced to stop its like a drug addict quitting cold turkey. When I injured my back and then got sick several months ago it was very difficult emotionally.

I am always so afraid of over medicating. I know you know what I am talking about. I stand in awe of how you have taken control and how you actively pursue the medical interventions that you need.
