Tiredness

[Paul36]

Can anyone help me? I've had anxiety since the age of 23 and i've turned 36 a few days ago so i've been with it for a while! I refused all anti-dep's drugs from the doctors as i didn't think it would help and was worried it could make things far worse. Propranolol is the only drug i've taken for when things get too much (a backup if u like). I managed years ago how to cope by myself - I had acute anxiety but when i felt that wave of fear, i thought to myself 'oh, here we go again but it'll be ok' once i started to think like this and belived it they were few and in between.

The main problem I have now is Tiredness - each and every day i feel tired, not like i could drop on the floor and sleep. I do sleep, although sometimes irregular and most times i get 8 hours or so. Can anyone shed any light on how to deal with this?

thanks,
Paul.

I don't have any words of wisdom for ya as I feel the SAME way. I'm curious to see what others have to say. I don't take any meds, so it's not that that's bringing me down. I have a heart condition which prevents me from having any caffeine so I'm kinda stuck. I try and take a quick mid day nap if I can. That or yoga usually gives me a great boost. Good luck Paul!
