Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Your symptoms can be due to anxiety, anemia or both. the only way to rule out anemia is by doing a complete blood count. If the hemoglobin is below 11g%, we can say its anemia.
For the anxiety, you can start doing some meditation or exercise or yoga. start spending some quality time with family and friends and try and talk things out.
Crystal meth is definitely not a solution and not something you should be trying again.
Hope that helps
