Recently, I've found that tiredness is really triggering my anxiety. Tonight, for example, I'm exhausted, and my head is heavy, all I want to do is close my eyes. I'm the sort of tired where my body is weak and it makes me feel like my heart is struggling. It feels like a car engine struggling - like it's low on power. I've also got some chest and arm aches - even the aches feel weak and tired!
I'm not sure what symptoms are tiredness or what symptoms are caused by my anxiety. It's worse today because I had a good sleep last night, eaten and drunk well today and there's no reason for me to be this tired. I keep thinking that lethargy and fatigue is a sign of serious illnesses, and that is probably causing other symptoms.
Does anyone find them feeling more tired than usual with anxiety, and does tiredness itself cause you anxious thoughts?
