Fatigue from anxiety, I guess....

[Stan_K]

I was walking around at the park when all of a sudden my body felt like it was shutting down. No energy at all. It scared the crap out of me. Anyone else ever experience this?

Yes when walking along the side of the canal I was with my pal that was 3 months ago we had to turn back as I couldn't go on. I sat in my flat just wanting to stay there and not go out. I ended up having a breakdown and wanting to kill myself. I felt that was the only way to end it all. I get help now they have changed my meds because the other one wasn't working. The energy isn't completely back yet but I am getting there its taking time but I can see light at the end of the tunnel and know that I will get back to the way that I was.

I've felt simular to that. I'll be going about my day and then I'll feel as tho I took a benadryl or something. I'll have no energy and feel lethargic and drowsy, so much so I'll have to take a nap and I'm not a napping kind of person.

Every day. It has been so bad the last 8 months and my GP just tells me it's chronic fatigue from all the anxiety. It's horrible. I feel heavy all over and it makes me off balance.

Thanks for your response! I hope you get better. You should try vitamins such as: b-12, and magnesium.

[Hidden in reply to Stan_K]

Thank you. Yes I take both.

[Stan_K in reply to Hidden]

You're welcome! And don't forget that our minds are very powerful in the way that they can effect how we feel.

Thanks for your response! Hopefully, things will get better. It may be stress related. Try taking b-12 vitamins, and magnesium.

I have fatigue from my anxiety everyday. No matter what I do I eventually feel like I am carrying around a huge weight and I need to lay down. I feel so badly for others that have posted a similar comment. Anxiety wears a person out both physically and mentally.

[Stan_K in reply to mommacatindahouse]

Thanks for your reply and that's so true. I guess it all boils down to fixing our thoughts and minds so that we don't freak out and release adrenaline.

[smjtty in reply to Stan_K]

YA BUT HOW

[smjtty in reply to mommacatindahouse]

IT IS REAL BAD I CAN NOT HANDEL IT

[Stan_K in reply to smjtty]

Do you suffer from anxiety attacks or panic attacks before it happens or does it randomly happen? Are you stressed out or have you gone through some emotional stress?

[MrMike]

anxiety can drain your physical energy even when you are having no symptoms of anxiety. this can make you feel exhausted.....as if you just spent all day cleaning. i'ts scary because it can happen at random times so we see no reason why we should be feeling this tired and we start to think that it's something else..like health issues. i get these spells at times and it sucks. maybe supplements can help keep our energy levels from spiking like this? i'm going to have to look into that.

[Stan_K in reply to MrMike]

Thanks for your reply! I've noticed that anxiety can effect us even when we don't have those symptoms and I think it's a lot more mental than we think. I put myself in different situations where I'd usually feel fatigued and I tell myself that I have energy and ignore it and it goes away. It's so weird.
