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...

anyone else feel like their anxiety is exhausting? 


like I have to put in more effort than usual, to do things, to be productive etc. Everything feels forced at the moment. I feel like, I just want things to pause, yet we keep moving along, and I feel like a zombie. It is so overwhelming.


I had a headache this morning, and just felt so sad. overthinking can be such a curse... sigh, just wanted to vent/ramble. I feel guilty at times, because all this scrambled up thoughts/emotions cant be articulated and I desparetly am seeking some sort of release/comfort!. yet Most of the time I really just dont know. I dont why anymore. and its Only Tuesday...


how is your week going so far? lets hope for a turn around, if only I could just shake it off and not feel so tired all the time. 


cheers, friends.

I understand what you feel. It is really effortful to keep on going for me as well. What I find helping is exercise or walking outside in the woods. It kind of soothes me and my mind. I know that it is temporary and next morning I will wake up with a lot of thoughts, fears etc. but in the moment it helps a lot.

It’s because you’re not working. Working eats up the hours and you don’t have time to think too much.

I find anxiety far more exhausting than hard physical labor. Far and away more exhausting. In fact, I find hard physical labor far more restful than trying to sleep with anxiety. Hence my psycho tick of scrubbing floors, etc., during the midnight hours when insomnia strikes.

It's almost like you words came straight from my own brain! There are some days when I'm just so fed up with my anxiety that I just want to scream or cry. Sometimes it just feels like I'm trapped in my own body.
Today I feel tired. I woke up anxious, before I could even process any other thoughts of the day! I've just been yawning at my desk. I feel bone tired, like I've run a marathon. Sometimes I just feel weak from it.

Glad to know someone understands this feeling.

    Jay's podcasts are really good.  I watch them on YouTube for free.  Today, I watched his video about motivation.  In fact, I've been watching a few videos on this subject.  Jay gave us an assignment to complete the following sentence:  I am stuck because?  I don't describe myself as stuck, but to finish the sentence, I would say that I am stuck because I am tired.  When I have energy, I do...
