I am new here. Hardest thing about my anxiety and depression is dealing with the physical pain caused by my mental anguish... aka aches and soreness and fatigue. Im generally a healthy person but when my anxiety or depression flare up, the physical part just brings me down more... am i the only one that feels this way? do any of you have any pointers?
NEWBIE...: I am new here. Hardest thing... - Anxiety and Depre...

Hi.
I’m sorry to hear of your struggles.
I wanted to say welcome to you and I hope it helps being here x
I am going through the same thing. My body feels bruised and I get tired very easily. I can’t keep up with people younger than I am. I think my anxiety keeps my body very tense all the time. Seems like after a few days of being very low, I get physically ill (migraine, stomach upset, etc). My doctor feels that if I lose weight, I will feel better. It’s not so easy to be active when I can’t leave the house. Today I am going to just slow everything down. Not do too much. Give myself permission to take it easy. I wish you a beautiful day!

thank you - i totally understand.. same thing ..leaving the house will make me feel better but i have to feel better to leave the house.. - hope you enjoy/enjoyed your today. t
Hey there. Just a thought. Hmm, i don't know if this would make things worse physically? But do you get much exercise? Or do any stretches? Yoga? My best to you in this. <3 xx
