Exercise might be able to fulfill the desire for self-harm

Self-harm: purposefully inflicting pain on oneself
Exercise can be painful

Not a complicated equation. This hit me right now when I plan on going for a run, partly yearning for the pain of it.

I have known plenty of gymcels that have said that the pain from lifting and hard exercise not only scratches that itch for them but also gives them another purpose in life. you have nothing to lose by exercising

If it hurts while you're exercising, you should stop.

Yeah, definitely

If it hurts while you're exercising, you should stop.

I've been running for years without a problem. We might be interptering the word differently but I don't mean pain the way that something is broken or I'm having a heart attack. I would call the normal feeling of stressing the body and getting winded somewhat painful.
