For those who dont know me, i have anxiety disorder. Yesterday morning I felt really tired. I was on my way for a meeting when I felt my whole body struggling to stay up. I felt soooooo fatigued, like someone slipt sleeping pill into my tea or something. I just wanted to lay down, but feared that if I do that my whole body will shut down completely. Was I lacking something in my body? Serotonin? Sugar? Iron? ...

My mind was just racing as to why i felt this way.

I was this close to just calling a friend of mine and cancelling todays venue. But I thought .....no....not today .....

Forced myself to have a shower, get dressed, have breakfast..got the house cleaned up. Mind you I was still feeling fatigued.

When a friend of mine picked me up....that feeling of tiredness, like your whole body was going to shut down on you slowly disappeared. Came 11am and I was feeling so much better.

I had this feeling before. One thing I know how to battle this is to force yourself to be active, it will be hard but trust me it pays off.

Hi cmoney0484,

Its annoying really when i need to go places and this hits me. Have you seen the doctors for your symptoms?

The thought of being on medication is abit scary. I regret taking paroxtine, but because I had no knowledge of anxiety taking meds was my only option. My advice to you is try to hold off any medication and try to help yourself battle this without the use of drugs.

The upside to taking medication is that it helps relieve that stress and balances your anxiety level.

The downside to it is you'ĺl be hooked onto it. Too dependent on the meds or have withdraw symptoms if you decide not to take it.

Dont give into that because your body will give into it. Your bed can harm you making your body feel weak and tired thats why you must do something active excersice walk anything go outside for a while. I went through it. Inclosed in my room for half a year doing that.

Well its like this if you ever excerside workout weights or ran at first you felt like you couldnt do much but after a while you were able to do alot right well our body is like we need to take it one step at a time to do lil by lil. Be in control be positive its more of a mental thing than physical
