Exercise gives me the exact oppoite feeling than the FIDS. I don’t know why, but I sometimes wake up in the morning with the FID’s – Fear of Impending Doom. I don’t even know what I think is not going to be OK, but it is this uncomfortable and overwhelming feeling of dread. How I feel at the end of my exercise (especially when I do early morning exercise outside) creates the exact opposite of that feeling. When I finish exercise in general, I just have this feeling of being on top of things, of my life feeling in control, like “it” is going to be OK. And, illusion though that may be, it is still worth whatever effort it takes to feel that relief even if it does wear off!
