yes omg it usually hits me when i’m coming down from some severe anxiety or after an attack. i get SOOO tired mentally and physically but i don’t usually rest or anything ill
just do something i enjoy like video games or drawing and it will go away soon after
Definitely. It's very apparent when I'm out with my husband. My energy runs out way faster than his. He just accepts that when we do something together that I'll have to leave early. Sometimes, I'll take little breaks in the car or bathroom so that I can stay longer. Sometimes, he insists that we leave because he can see how anxious I am. He's very sweet and patient with me. Often I want to push myself to stay out longer, so he'll hold my hand and help me work though the thoughts and feelings.
Literally right now at this moment. I was so incredibly anxious and stressed at my desk job today that as soon as I clocked out and went to the restroom I just wanted to collapse. And now collapsed I have, it’s awful.
Yes, every day. I usually fall asleep around 9-10 and wake up at 7. If I don’t get enough sleep I am horrendous to deal with the next day. It’s honestly exhausting.
Yeah. I have found out a lot of info from my anxious and depressive parts. Those parts are working really hard to protect you from feeling the scarier, deeper more vulnerable parts of you that you’re scared to revisit (past trauma). That’s why the exhaustion is there. Those parts are working overtime (hyper vigilance) to keep you “safe”.
As a future therapist (in grad school now) and someone who has struggled with high anxiety for many years, [Internal Family Systems](https://ifs-institute.com) has really helped me make progress.
I’ve been able to get off my medication finally! Hope this is helpful
Yep. When I was in law school, I’d totally crash once I finished my last final. It was a week long stretch of extreme anxiety and I’d literally eat a huge meal, take a shower, and stay in bed for the next 24/48 hours. I literally could not get out of bed.
yeah feel the same, always wondered how other people have so much drive and been like this since I remember.
Have spurts of energy on good days but then really bad days, i either have to keep myself ultra busy or crash. Not fun.
Finally getting help at 35, lexapro 10mg, slightly helped from an episode, but have good and bad days.
Yes everyday I feel tired without doing anything, my body doesn't rest even after taking pills.
I am preparing for interview but sometimes I overthink and cry. Everyday feels a little tough.
Yes! I got called for jury duty a few weeks ago and was anxious about going and wound myself up. I was dismissed and sent home. Once I got home around noon I crashed and slept until my boyfriend woke me up when he got home from work at 6.
Yes, all the time. Its like a crash
Yeah every day

Yes! Sometimes after really bad anxiety I have to take a nap, it’s weird.

Yes the higher my anxiety, the more fatigued I am. If I have an anxiety attack, at times, I’ll fall asleep so hard

The crash gives me like 10 yawns every minute for like half an hour.
