Beebsqtip, I have a question!! - Anxiety Message Board

I have been reading about how much you want sleep and have been needing it. For some reason i feel like that too. It comes and goes. I read in one of your threads that you were having extreme tiredness and your mind wasnt clear and you were like out of it. I have been having that problem. I get about 8-10 hours of sleep every night and then during the day i get really tired. What do you think is causing it? How exactly do you feel when you get like this? It is really starting to bring me down and after reading what you had wrote I thought I would see whats going on. How are your eating habits? Do you drink enough water? I am trying to find answers for the both of us. Well I hope to hear from you soon. Mandi

Sorry it to so long to reply been busy.

Well, for the last couple months like I have said before, just really tired all of the time. Lately though it has been getting even worse. I thought it was bad before but now. I am tired all of the time. I can sleep the whole day away without even trying and now I am having sharp pains on the right side of the head but it doesn't feel like a headache. At this point I am afraid that I won't wake up. There were times I was so tired I didn't even no I fell asleep and I would wake up freaking out.
Anyways, didn't mean to get off track. I will admit my eating habits are unstable. Sometimes I will eat real healthy and routinely (sorry can't spell), but most of the time snacking eating cup cakes in the morning and smoking on the weekends when I work.
I also get really depressed. I don't know if this is because I am stressing that i feel like I can't get more than enough sleep or if this a side affect. Water well thats a habit I just can't get down either but still working on it.
I have been excersizing and at first it helped then it didn't.
I use to be able to clean around the house, but now I can't even seem to do that anymore.
I have been working on my eating habits and water in the last 2 days and so far this hasn't helped yet.
I have been to sleep disorder clinic and I am still awaiting for the results!

Hope this helps!

Good luck!

Sorry I got excited to see i wasn't alone on this one. I thought I was going crazy!

Well i went to my doctor the other day and her only suggestion to me was to start anxiety meds and eat better. She told me to cut out carbs and focus on protein and veggies. I have been drinking a lot more water. This seems to help. In fact last night I wenjt out and had to leave because I was so out of it and tired. I decided to stop and eat at Wendy's. All I got was chicken nuggets. Man did that do the trick. I ate them all which was almost impossible and then boom, I was awake and wanting to eat more. I even slept well. I am doing all protein just for the weekend to see how it goes. She also told me to avoid sugars. so I guess we will have to see how it goes. I also started drinking Ensure Plus. It has got a lot of calories and nutrition in it. I really hope you are feeling better. Try giving your diet a change and see if it helps. Focus on Protein. Well I hope to hear back from you!! MANDI

Glad to see you are doing well. Hope things keep on improving for you. Did you take the meds the doc recomended you?

Hi, I have been in the same boat lately. Too tired to function basically. I will have highs and lows throughout the days(although the highs are still quite low)

I do drink a fair amount of water and my eating habits change daily-depending on how much energy I have to put into preparing/cooking. I know I don't sleep well at night, I wake up atleast 3 times a night. I am going to try up my protein some.
Mandi- is the ENSURE PLUS high in sugar(suppose to cut out sugar)

I have had a couple bouts where I feel completely exhausted, too tired to even move-and just need to go to sleep(but usually can't-with the little ones). I don't know what the heck is causing such drowsiness(not too mention the brain fog). Keep Posting, atleast we can suffer together....
