Stress Center Peer Support

Hi,

I am feeling very tired today and just needed to vent. My anxiety has been up and down this past month, I hope with July starting tomorrow it will be a better month for me. My anxiety was particually bad today. It's always feels worse on a Monday, I guess because I had off the last two days and it's back to work. I was getting ready to go home on lunch and the thought of traveling home made me feel panicky. I calmed myself down but when I came home I thought about how tired I felt with dealing with this anxiety. I'm always sick, I never feel like I can push myself hard enough to do anything etc... I just started Session 3 and I hope it will help me tackle my negative thoughts. Today is almost over so I hope tomorrow brings a better day. It's been hard for me to go to work everyday the last month, but I've pushed myself everyday to go. I know nothing comes easy in life, and you need to work hard so I am going to keep trying and hope for better results.

GI822 - Hang in there, it gets better. Your fatigue can be a sign of anxiety, depression, or both. Keep doing the program, try to live in the present moment, forgive yourself any missteps, and accept your predicament as the path you were meant to take.

Hi GI822, I could have written your posy myself. I seem to be always tired and tire easily. I believe it's because I can't ever get a good night's sleep. That, along with stress that I have been under the past couple of months (I am moving) just takes so much energy it seems. I need to get back to regular sleep patterns, as well as exercising regularly (I've slacked off on that completely) and I need to listen to the relaxation tape every day at least once to help rid myself of this stress. You are not alone!

Rob.
