How are you after a severe bout of anxiety?

[Cakelady]

Hi. I've been under a lot of stress over the past couple of months. I realised what anxiety was, I thought I was bad but no this was worse. Anyways, I don't know if I am actually ill or just recovering from the stress/ anxiety. I feel drained, I get tired so easy & feel very weak. I get breathless & funny feelings in my chest. I don't know. I'm avoidant so can't face the doctor, oh the joys.
Just needing others experience here, has anyone come out of a bout of severe anxiety & felt really unwell?
I just need a little reassurance & then my mind will wonder onto its next worry :/
Thankyou x

Hi. When my anxiety has been really bad it takes me about a week to recover from it fully as it just completely drains me. It takes me longer mentally to recover as it's also mentally draining.
But I feel that once I'm back virtually normal I have another thing to worry about. It's a horrible never ending cycle
Hope you feel better soon

We've all been there. It's worse when actually recovering from an illness with the HA on top of it... Takes at least a week to feel more normal from a panic episode.

I'm the same, I feel exhausted after a severe bout of anxiety. All I want to do is go to bed! I have also had symptoms lasting for days like the nausea and weird chest sensations.

I try to do meditation and breathing exercises every morning to attempt to have a day without anxiety. Not something I've been doing for ages so haven't noticed the effects yet
