Those who struggle with anxiety often report feeling fatigued or exhausted. They feel dejected, exhausted, foggy, and dizzy. Feelings of depersonalization often appear when one feels frustrated and trapped in the cycle of worry and fear.
There is a logical explanation for these sensations and also a way to overcome the exhausted and unreal state that one is now experiencing.
The explanation is of primary importance.
Those who struggle with anxiety often report feeling fatigued or exhausted. They also struggle with feelings of unreality and brain fog. This feeling of drainage is caused by the combination of:
1 – Constant release of adrenaline, in response to the habit of thinking in fear.
2 – A significant decrease in serotonin due to continual stressful thoughts, worries, and poor diet / nutrition.
This is why many people who struggle with anxiety often find themselves in a state of exhaustion due to the general release of adrenaline. Every thought of worry triggers a slight release of adrenaline and every thought of panic an even greater release. It makes perfect sense for one to experience symptoms of adrenal fatigue and depersonalization after a period of time.
Other triggers:
Generalized stress
Pressures and unresolved issues
Stressful people and situations
Inadequate diet and nutrition, refined and processed foods
Skipping meals
Lack of sleep
Disease
