Exercise feels great. It wears you down but it makes you feel alive! Exercise is the time during the day I am most at peace and relaxed. No work bullshit, just me and my goals.

After insisting on it for quite some time I am at a point where I love working out and hate missing a day in my routine. But I definitely DON'T feel great after exercising. I get this horrible feeling like I'm close to passing out, my whole body shakes and I just want to curl up in a corner and wait until that feeling is gone. I look forward to exercising and making progress but definitely not to how I feel right after it.

Mindless 2¢ observation, you might need to review your intensity when exercising and scale it back a little until you find a better pace. This sounds like how my evening runs are after long breaks, and that's almost always due to me being over zealous and very bad at pacing. Once I correct it my evening exercise is very pleasant sans the mosquitoes.

It should be tiring you but the description you gave sounds like the intensity might be set a little too high at the moment. Scale back a little and build into it.
