Am I addicted to exercise? Do I need to be doing less?
It has turned into a routine to do some intense strength training til exhaustion every other day. It's usually one day of big exercise and one day of rest (which still includes some form of exercise). I think I may be addicted to strength training.
My future career will be quite sedentary and I've recently suffered from disordered eating. The idea that I will be sat on my butt all day is enough to make me feel uneasy, and it has gone to the point where I stand up whenever I can and move around to burn some energy. Although I feel at ease after intense excercise, I've been getting spots and sores on my face combined with occasional **** sleep. Am I putting too much stress on my body? Does it sound like I am addicted to excercise?

Standing desks, or even treadmill desks, are becoming more normal than they were, so a sedentary job need not mean sitting around all day.
Your bad skin is more likely to be related to poor sleep than to overtraining. Alternating really hard training days with total rest days is a popular strategy. However, it is usually better to 'listen to yiur body', so that instead of training and resting on a rigid schedule, you can rest for an extra day if you still ache after your usual rest day, or train again the day after a less manic training day.
Your diet is the most likely cause of the skin problems you describe. After 'recovering' from disordered eating, many people still show eating preferences that limit their nutrition. Being very active can increase your body's need for Vitamin A, which is part of your skin's basic defence against infection.
It is a fat-soluble vitamin, so attempts at 'healthy eating' can leave you deficient.
Beta-carotene can help to 'top up' your intake.

don't worry. you keep doing that, your muscles are going to fatigue while doing the exercise and tear or dislocate something and you will be forced sedentary.
