Extreme fatigue after stressful event...
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi
I believe I have been suffering with anxiety for the past two years. I've not been on medication and have managed to cope with exercise, vitamins and forms of relaxation. My symptoms are much better however the one sy,prom out of my control is the extreme fatigue - especially after a stressful event. It's so bad that I fall asleep at my desk at work! Does anyone know the reason for these episodes of extreme fatigue? What can I do in these times to boost my energy? Taking time off from work to sleep is not an option! I've tried vitamins such as magnesium, omega 3, St. John's wort - any tips please?

I have suffered from anorexia and depression, and have recently been diagnosed with ME/CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome).
Perhaps your battles with anxiety have resulted in something similar like my experience, talk to your doctor about CFS being a posibility. They only diagnose after process of elimination as there is no set test for CFS. However your fatigue episodes may be due to your body being physically unable to cope with stressful moments because of your anxiety and kind of 'switch off'.
google or talk to a doctor about chronic fatigue syndrome.
I'd also recommend taking up a hobby- as this can be a good relaxation technique but also instill some motivation within you, mine is painting.Â
