Hi There. I Have Been Wirking Through Anxiety And Panic

Posted on Mon, 27 Jan 2020

Question: hi there. i have been wirking through anxiety and panic disorder naturally for a few months abd i reslly have done well. im not as fearful of the sensations and i can pretty much live a full life.

however, as i did exposurw therapy to my panic... i found that i started to get very exhausted and fatigued. its like my brain just cant handle anything anymore.

im still somewhat symptomatic as well... i wake up too early, have somw high blood pressure still (which startes with the anxiety/depression) but mostly its a lack of energy thats just overwhelming at times.

Have you heard of this happening as you go through therapy to recover from anxiety disorders? i dont take any meds for it. i dont feel sad or hopeless or guilt. i just feel exhausted as i work through all the fear!
