I (31M) would like to work out really hard every single day, but I know I shouldn't. Mental health and so on, please read.

We already know that rest days are important not only for gains, but also for injury prevention and general well-being. Still, it's one of the few things that make me feel good right now.

I'm not going to get into details but I'm not in the best stage of my life and having things that help me cope, make it all easier, for real. That's what fitness is for me at the moment.

I don't lift fo the gains or for the general health benefits, right now I lift because it's fun and keeps myself (and my head) busy.

Rest days feel like a torture for me, and I know I can go for a walk or do some streching or gently movement/cardio but holy shit it's not the same, I crave intensity.

Is anyone in a similar situation? What can I do to take care of my body without loosing my mind?
