so tired?

[dave11282]

hi

I have had chronic anxiety all my adult life, made worse by PTSD from trauma.

I recently gave up all caffeine , which on the whole, I feel less anxiety, especially from social occasions.

But, my energy levels feel so low, I actually feel depressed and libido is low too.

I do exercise , not as regularly as I have done in past, try to eat healthy , but recently is like I am running of no gas. (I have had couple bad relationships that have been very draining).
That said, just feel so tired all the time.

also, I think part of the problem, is having to feel like the actual management of chronic anxiety is a draining procedure in itself.

anyone else feel the same way?

(is like I am out of ideas to get my energy back)

Hey Dave

Anxiety and depression are both very draining so having both together maybe having a double wammy effect on you.

Also giving up caffine etc, although better for you health wise, can have a draining effect for a certain period of time too, especially if your body has been used to it.

Try not to give up everything at once, cut down gradually and try to take one day at a time.

You will be just fine hun

Take care
