I am 28 (f) and I get crippling anxiety about gyms. Gyms are my unsafe place and I wish it wasn’t I enjoy working out and wish I could without having panic attacks. Back story I’m in recovery for an eating disorder so occasionally I still have moments of feeling like shit about myself. Every time I’ve stepped foot into a gym and I see girls working out all dolled up wearing barely any clothes it puts me in a really dark place of self shame about my body. I wish I can enjoy the gym because I like working out! I don’t have money to go to a nice gym with a more “older” crowd. I also do not live somewhere like an apartment with a gym. I try to do at home work outs, but I hate those too.
