I feel so ill today, I could hardly get dressed and brush my teeth, I feel like I can't function properley, thinking I have no energy to do anything, I get so frightened that I am going to loose my mind, I am like this most mornings till about 1oclock, I wanted to take my grandchildren to the theartre on Sunday but the way I am what is the point I have been trying hard all day to think positive . With help I have don't a few things, my son helped with putting the net curtains up, he said to me its anxiety, but it keep thinking it can't be, not this bad, it's terrible, sometimes I feel what's the point of this struglgle, I don't want to sound like a horrible person, bu could it be something else, I am always at the doctors . Can anxiety cause this feeling of being lifeless and nearly falling over, I have had this for twenty years, and I have struggled for that long, but this setback is really bad. Will I feel better.

Hi Lavender, sorry you're feeling like this, this is exactly how I feel at the moment, I feel physically weak like I can't do things. I'm sure we can get better, acceptance is the way, it's not easy but it is possible :hugs:
Yes anxiety drains your energy because of the constant adrenalin and worry. In the book self help for your nerves claire weekes explains this.
I think you need to allow yourself to be tired and just take a break. Sometimes being compassionate and kind to yourself can help. Not being hard of yourself for feeling so tired and forcing yourself to have energy. Maybe go on youtube and find a meditation or relax for a short time each day.
That's not to say you lie around and let anxiety set in but that you have a break and let your body and mind rest.

Thanks for the replies. I do read claire weekes books , she is wonderful and has saved my life on many an occasion I am using the books and the tapes but I don't seem to be making any improvement, I have always suffered from anxiety since my twenties , and had a few setbacks , but this setback has gone right back to square one, maybe it's because I have had a bout 2 months of acute stress before this episode.
Hi Lavender... Anxiety can cause massive tiredness and lack of energy the get up and go... I'm often overwhelmed and tired too, but with a 5 month old I just gotta do it. I find that if I wake up and say today I'm going to wake up and do this no matter how tired or depressed I am, I can do it. But if I just lay in bed and not try then I won't get out of bed, do you get me ? :)
Keep your chin up, after all lavender flowers smell so good, and are so regal hehe. Oh yea and they can cause drowsiness. Random.

Yes no what you mean when my children were babies you have to get up and keep going, I need something in my life now to give me some motivation to be glad to get up and feel better, I have spent the last 6 years caring for my elderley parents and now my husband is ill. So I suppose I have got to get do something for myself, I think worry and anxiety drain s me. I use lavender oil a lot and the flowers, put it on my pillow at night still can't sleep . :)
