....exhausted

[Dublinah]

Hello. Just joined. Anxiety sufferer & exhausted from it.

I meditate, garden, read, use lavender oil, sometimes just focus on my breath....

Anyone wish they didn't have to be medicated to keep it at bay?

I know things could be so much worse but some days.... it's just overwhelming. 🙁

Hi and welcome Dublinah,

I know exactly, well not exactly, where you are coming from. Exhaustion is the pits

Some days are definitely harder than others to cope with.

Just remember medication for anxiety is like medication for diabetes, necessary to stay well.

Thank you.

Amen!! I hate being medicated - I wish every day I could pick up my little anxiety demon and throw him away. The exhaustion is terrible some days I just want to crawl into bed and not come out - ever. Pleas know you are not alone. I prefer a life without chemicals, but sometimes it's a necessary evil. Have you tried Calm Now or Theanine Serene? I've found relief using both. Calm Now seems to be the better alternative for me, less of the drugged feeling which I prefer. Although there are some days when I would happily take a Valium to feel the 'click' in my head and enjoy the warm, fuzzy peacefulness-

Thank you. I'll certainly look in to both. I appreciate your kind words.
