Can exercise addiction be a bad thing?

Generally speaking, being in good shape is not a bad thing. But the problem is that a true exercise addiction will go well beyond being in good shape. They will exercise to the degree, for example, they will run until they damage their knees and they're going in for multiple surgeries. They will damage their arms and their shoulders because they feel a need to continue to involve themselves in exercise beyond their body's capability. It is not about being in good shape at all. It's about keeping at bay certain feeling states they don't want to experience, and keeping that addiction or that momentum of feeling good via this method.

I'm surprised there isn't more information on exercise addiction.

Exercise is something everyone craves naturally, consciously or subconsciously, making it one of the easiest things to gain an addiction to and one of the hardest things to break an addiction to.

This also makes it one of the more dangerous addictions because people mistake their addiction for a natural craving, people should be enlightened.
