Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
For the past few months I've experienced debilitating fatigue off and on. It gets so bad that I struggle to make it through work shifts...I have to excuse myself to go to the bathroom just so I can sit for a moment and close my eyes. There were two different times where the exhaustion was so bad I felt like I was going to pass out (but I never did).
My sleep patterns have been off lately. I go to bed really late and sleep in really late. Most nights I wake up multiple times. I rarely wake up refreshed and energized.
I explained all of this to my therapist and doctor and both of them say it's from the anxiety. I've had blood work done...it all came back normal.
I have such a hard time believing it's completely due to anxiety though. I feel miserable most days and find it hard to even function. Any one else have extreme fatigue (related to their anxiety)?
*Just a note: I also posted this in the Panic Attack support group...in case anyone was wondering about the double post.

put some sanity into your lifestyle. be true to who you really are inside and be sure to give to yourself first before others. the trick to being a very responsible adult is to first be very conscious of one's own needs and giving ourselves those things that we need.
another thing is that an emotionally sensitive person who does not have their guard up in public can feel drained by negative energy around them. it is very important that when you walk outside of your house, that you have your shields up to deflect negative energy like loud noises, ugly environments, and bad people. women are especially susceptible to this. trust your feelings and protect yourself by sidestepping the bad vibe sources.
Faithful- You brought up some good points...perhaps I do have to take better care of myself and shove out the negative energy. I've been getting better though..I have a cup of coffee only about twice a week and I don't smoke.
