Exhausted

Does anyone else feel exhausted? I was worrying so much about going for my annual physical because of a blood test I was concerned about. It seems I have been doing this health worry thing for 6 months now because of a surgery and the aftermath. NOW that I got good news yesterday, today I can't get out of my own way. I did go to the mall and run some errands but this afternoon I was wrecked and had to take a 2 hour nap. Now my body feels exhausted and I'm dragging to go from room to room. What the heck is this now? My husband is telling me that I'm feeling this way from the intense anxiety I have been going through.
I also have fibromyalgia and it feels like some kind of weird combination. Does anyone else feel this way with their anxiety when it has been high for an extended period of time?

I have been really tired too.  I was not sleeping  because of intense anxiety.  Doc put me on Lexapro.  Now I am not sleeping well because of the Lexapro.  I can get 6 hours or so of sleep if I take a xanax, but I don't like doing that too often.  And even then, I wake up totally beat.  I hope you get some good sleep soon (and that I do too!)

IWillBbetter,

Everyone has a stress capacity. When you exceed your capacity, your system may function poorly or shut down completely. After you have been through a stressful time it is very common to feel emotionally exhausted.  Give yourself  permission to rest, don’t push yourself to hard right now.  You have been dealing with so much your body needs time to shut down and reset itself.  Don’t place excessive demands on yourself right now but instead just let your mind and body rest.

I have been where you are and allowing myself to just shut down and recover helps me with the healing process.   I am glad your physical was all good news.

Kindly,

Kitt
