First of all, I want to say that I have pure ocd and im being treated.

I have been feeling exhausted mentally due to the anxiety and possibly other things.

I also have sin, I mean we are human and we sin, but even though I pray and ask for forgiveness. If I don't say it perfectly I get the urge to start all over. This prayers can go for days.

So, finally, once the anxiety calmed down, I have this tireness even in days without being anxious and I sleep more than 10 hours and still feel extremely tired.

I have this thought that I need to pray for everything I have done in details or I'll never become active again.

I'm pretty sure this is OCD and I don't want to get into a trap of endless praying because of ocd, but I'm anxious.

How can I go back to the gym and lift weights without feeling tired for days?

At the risk of sounding too much like Nike, my advice would honestly be "Just Do It" -- do it even if you end up tired, do it even if your OCD is distracting and preoccupying you. Exercise can be energy-giving over time if not overdone. And as you continue to do these things in spite of your energy levels and other fixations, you will begin to gain confidence that those things don't have to control you.

Try not to avoid things or do thing simply based on fear, have you read Claire Weekes' 'Hope and Help for Your Nerves'? I strongly recommend it...the main theme is acceptance of how you feel. It's difficult in practice, but remarkably simple in its concept and it may help you.
