Grounded and not liking it.

Hey, I am feeling very up and down in terms of emotions since my recent health issues. As a result I am grounded for any hard exercise for a while. I did a bit of a work out yesterday and now feel exhausted, also due to my lack of proper sleep for a couple of days as well. So I feel like I look tired and am a grumpy troll horror at work/home, worthy of a trip to the dungeon. But in my defense I have gone from working out everyday, to nothing, feeling like I have no energy and am so panicked about ruining all the hard work I put in at the gym. My trainer is saying slow down (which I hate doing and hate even More being told to do it) as my body has had a 'shock' and needs to rest psychically and emotionally. He is right though...
I will have an early one tonight then try some more exercise from Thursday. Its very frustrating to go from feeling so strong and healthy to feeling weak and down. I will be busy with work all next week and be away, so hopefully the week after I can start anew with training etc..

It may sound weird, but to me fitness is freedom. Strength gives you the chance to try anything you wish - hence freedom. Now I just feel locked in a cage, with grumpy James for company.
