Exhaustion & Derealization

I'm sick of anxiety. I feel like it's getting better, but as soon as I realize I'm starting to feel OK, my anxiety comes along and ruins everything. For about a couple of weeks now, I've been feeling really tired, which I was coping with after about a week... Now, I'm completely exhausted, for most of the day. It doesn't matter if I've gotten enough sleep. 

My boyfriend even says I'm always tired, and I can't help but to lay around and eat/drink (not alcohol, by the way). I drink tea, water, and milk, for the most part. I don't drink soda as much as I used to, which was about 3-6 can's per day. If anything I have no more than 2 can's per day, but within a week, I've only had 4 can's of soda. 

That's another thing, I'm constantly feeling hungry. I used to have trouble eating with my anxiety, but now, it's the complete opposite. I could eat 2 grilled cheese sandwiches and a bowl of chicken noodle soup, and I'd still be hungry, at least within 30 minute's. I've tried drinking more water, tea, and milk, but being thirsty isn't the issue.

I've been feeling off-balance, slightly dizzy, and a bit weak-feeling, throughout the day. Everything feels so unreal and I get irritated, at the most random moments. Everything could be going great (when it comes to my mood), then all of a sudden, I'm feeling depressed or angry. I'm not violent, but if words were daggers...ugh. I find myself crying and just plain EMOTIONAL, constantly (I don't have to be PMSing).

Every night, I have at least ONE nightmare, and I have constant weird dreams. An example of a nightmare/weird dream, would be the one I had the night before, where half of the teeth in my mouth fell out. I also, had a dream about being near the scene of where these kids got ran over by a car, and one of them, who was crossing the street in a wheelchair, died before anyone could get to him.

I don't feel right anymore. I feel like I'm not myself anymore, as well. sad

      Yeah. I get chronic headaches. I've had that since I was 13. I have neck pain that causes most of them. It's like a burning pain, that goes to a dull, burning pain. I hate it. Thank you, hon.

    Hi kayla!

    You are NOT alone in how you feel. I feel this way every day, along with other unusual symptoms. Im currently working with my DR. to try and figure it all out but in the meantime I feel awful 24/7. i got a gym membership because i've read exercising does help. 

    I will try anything at this point. I also downloaded a meditation app because mindfulness meditation is suposed to help as well.

    maybe give these a try ?

      I'm feeling OK. I slept for 4 hour's, because I had to get up to go to a state park with my mom & siblings. It was really fun, and I didn't have much of any anxiety. The only thing I'm REALLY struggling with, is being tired, but I still have to eat dinner and don't want to wake up really early. rolleyes
