Hi I get really tired and sleey from around 11am to 4pm most days, I think it's caused my adrenaline crash due to the fight or slight response

Have you had your bloods done recently? Tiredness sometime comes with a vitamin deficiency. Possibly your folate levels? Hope you're feeling better soon x

Are you eating properly, breakfast and lunch.

I think this is quite common but it can be annoying! Maybe look at what you're eating for lunch. Don't have too many carbs, try to include fresh fruit and veg and some protein, and drink plenty of water. Hope this will help 🙂

I get tired in the afternoons too, I find that my fluoxetines are mostly causing it but probably my anxiety too. I end up having to go for a nap when I get in from work, which obviously helps at the time, but can then cause you to stay up later at night. It's a catch 22 situation. Sometimes I push through it, but then I find I get overtired and can't switch off at night. I'm going to try meditation and a therapy called the lightning process which is meant to be great, I will let you know how that goes
