    Honestly, I have found the more I focus on the symptoms, the worse they get.  When you, in turn, decide maybe to go out and do some exercise and prove to yourself that you can, you, in turn, start to feel relief from the symptoms.  It builds confidence in yourself and allows you to relax a bit from worrying.  

    Feeling exhausted due to anxiety or some mental challenges (like really long day at work or mental strain) is pretty common.  You are literally worrying yourself to the point of physical exhaustion.

    As tired as you might feel, I can honestly say that when I felt very bad one night I just decided I wasn't going to accept it anymore and I pushed myself to get up and do the elliptical.  Soon I was doing it every day again and then I transitioned into an hour a day.  

    The moment you start to accept that you have the power, not your anxiety, you'll stop focusing on it as much and you'll lose some symptoms.  You can definitely do it.

    Best of luck!
