No energy for anything or anyone 😩

[E2013]

No energy don’t feel like eating or doing anything.Thats not my character considering I love to shop and eat. Past week I just been feeling like hiding under a rock and not seeing anyone I can’t even get ready for the day , I hate this because I have a 5 year old daughter who needs me an my attention.I have brain fog and racing heart ❤️ I’m usually full of energy an I always get ready as the picture below.

Your photo makes you look like a lovely and energetic person. As we know, its whats inside that counts. Give yourself time to see if this lethargic feeling passes. I also have a five year old. I know what that means.

Thanks but that photo was about 2weeks ago before all this happened. I have been free of anxiety for the last year now an off medication lexapro since February. So this mishap is really weighing on me as I feel like I’m going backwards and I don’t want to take my medication again but if it doesn’t clear up than I will have to. Exactly it’s the inside that counts and no matter how pretty u are anxiety does not discriminate. If I were to walk through a crowd fully done up hair makeup and everything no would ever guess that inside I’m dying 😵

Yes it’s awful I would not wish this on anyone. How long have you been dealing with this ?are you on medication? What symptoms do u have?

I've been dealing with it harshly for about 5 years... I had it before but it wasn't this bad.. I go on with my day and do what I have to. Ur inside sometimes I am dying.. I feel like crap 70% of the time and scared and just weird! I get brain fog , palpitations, weak, hot, empty head/pressure, in a daze , just weird feelings I can't describe.. then when it affects me a lot I get scared and faint like.. they've prescribed me zoloft but it's sitting here I'm afraid to take it ... afraid of everythinf

I understand completely, I first got it summer of 2016 I was so bad I was afraid of everything not knowing why just felt a fear and I could barely function I couldn’t even give my child a bath I get horrible and then I got on lexapro I was afraid to but I wanted to get my life back and did it because my baby needed me to be my best for her so I took it along with Ativan as needed the Ativan was as needed but lexapro one pill a day I was on for a year then just his pst February I was off of it completely I was doing so wel then last week I woke up at night with a panic / anxiety attack I thought I was gonna pass out I got sweaty and so afraid to faint I immediately took a Ativan pill to relax me and it did the next day I started my cycle and since I have been a mess again with anxiety through the roof I’m so sad because of how wel I was doing now back to square one so I’m giving it until next week if I don’t feel better I’m gonna talk with physiatrist and talk about going back on medication again but first I want to see if it’s just from my hormones being out of whack due to period I don’t want to be on medication but honestly to live a normal life I will do it again and when ready slowly wing off again as I did before.

How were you on the lexepro? Did the anxiety come after your daughter was born?

I have this. Caffeine helps me but it makes some people's anxiety worse. Have you had your thyroid checked?
