I did feel this is useful. People who don't understand what it's like to have anxiety and feel how much it affects a person need to read this.

I am tired of the negativity that is attached to mental illness. We don't want to feel like this. We didn't ask for it.

My anxiety comes and goes and I skirt round the edges of it. But it's the tiredness that gets to me most. I can be anywhere and suddenly all I want to do is lay down on the floor and sleep.

this is hard to explain to some one who does not have depression or a condition that brings on fatigue.

I was very anxious yesterday = today I am very fatigued.

Hi Carolin! i didn't know you came to this site.

Uh, yes anxiety and depression are both very crippling and no we did not ask to be mentally ill.

Thanks for the link.

Thank you erib, Carolin57 and Heidiclark. People don't get it, but at least we do ourselves. I hope you all have great afternoons and evenings.
