Aww I'm sorry :( yeah I am real tired also and feel totally out of it. I try to let myself rest as long as I can to let my body recuperate from the panic attacks I get.

(((HUGS))) x

fighting against the panic exhausts you
don't fight it, relax and float thru it

I agree panick attacks make me exhausted.Then when I am exhausted I get more panicky from not getting enough done.Partly from exhaustion.There has been a couple of times I descided to let things go until the next day.It helped but its not easy doing that when your heart is pounding and your mind is racing.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I too experience this. When I'm at work, I'm just so tired and ready to just crash after having one. It really just wipes you out.

Hang in there...

I feel the same way!!! I always feel so tired and foggy. I know it's from my anxiety. I have to jog in place or do exercises to wake up. I feel your pain. Just try your best to sleep at night and eat well. I'm not on meds but I do get groggy. Anxiety is exhausting. I have bad days and good days.

the same thing happens to me every day. i know exactly what you mean. feeling like yoy ar going crazy is a good way to put it. you are not alone with this. you are the 1st person i have seen that has this same thing thier dealing with . it is a huge struggle.

You had blood work done to see if you have hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism? I have recently been diagnosed with hypothyroidism. The test use (TSH) is not a reliable one. So many people get pushed aside due to the test results coming back "Normal".

Did you get blood work for your Adrenal Glands? Corisol? (saliva test is best for that)

Vitamin D?

Here for you. Ask any questions you want, I will try and help with what I have leaned over the years finding out what the hell is going on.

I have had fatigue and panic attacks since I was a very young boy. I am a 39 year old man now and finally am putting the whole puzzle together.

With support and great empathy,

Thanks, Patrick. I'll ask my Dr. about the vitamin D. My cortisol just came back a little low, but my thryroid has come back fine. Someone suggested a UV light for the cortisol. I'm also goin to ask Dr about adrenal fatigue. Does anyone know anything about that?

Yes, I experience extreme fatigue after a panic attack as well. It basically ruins my entire day as I feel on the verge of another one at any time.....it sucks. I had a panic attack today after being very good avoiding them for almost 3 months.....ugh.

I'm so sorry to hear you're going through this =(. Just know you're not alone. I have awful fatigue, which fuels my anxiety and panic attacks, which in turn makes me even more tired =(.

If you are hyperventilating it helps to use a paper bag to breath into!

I keep getting sent from doctor to doctor, trying to figure out why I fall asleep during the day. I sit down, I fall asleep without even knowing it. I keep saying it's because I get panicky and deeply depressed and I need to escape. I think that's why I'm so tired all the time. My family gets angry if I try to explain what I'm so upset about. Shaking, crying, can't breathe, mind going all over the place. who wouldn't be exhausted? I hope you get help

I agree with checking your Vitamin D. I have suffered from Panic Attacks/Depression most of my life but I also suffer from fatigue etc. I just found out a few months ago that I had very low Vitamin D. It is not a normal test that is done in a normal lab. Not sure what made my Dr think to check it this time but I have been on suplements ever since and it has certainly helped the fatigue and made me happier. Not sure it has helped with less Panic Attacks, I am getting better at controlling those anyways. Also, I know its hard to think about when you are so fatigued - but do you work out at all? Even walk, yoga, bike? Just a little bit a day can help your energy and mood. I started doing yoga a few weeks ago as well and it has changed my life! My back doesn't hurt as much, i am more relaxed and less jumpy! Worth a try if you haven't already!

When I used to have panic attacks, it took a lot out of me. I remember the extreme fatigue. You need to concentrate on getting strong and being your own best friend. If you need to sleep, then sleep. Eat the most healthy foods that you can eat. Stay away from caffeine and get lots of exercise, even if you don't feel like it. Tell yourself that this is only temporary and you will soon be strong and happy. Hope this helps you, God bless, Marilyn

YES! I am exhausted, pretty much all the freaking time. Yesterday, I had three full-blown panic attacks, and today I had several more, and one happened shortly after I got up, so, 2 hours after I got up I was EXHAUSTED, and still had the entire freaking day to get through.

I feel like my life has no point....all I do is have panic attacks, try and deal with life (not easy, because I have 5 different Anxiety Disorders), and try not to collapse before bed. Then I wake up and the whole circus starts agian.
