Feeling very tired all the time

belles12345

I have recently found many new ways to cope with my difficulties, and am feeling a lot happier in myself, trying to express myself more naturally etc.  I feel better than I have ever felt in terms of how I manage my anxiety and self esteem issues.  However, I have been trying to get rid of a cold for weeks (an issue I had last winter when I was emotionally 'drained'). As a result, I am also feeling incredibly tired, to the point where I am struggling to be productive in work and being irritated easily.  As I am sure is common with others, I seem to have a careful balance, that when tipped means that I am easily tired and overloaded.  I am trying to work out what this means for me, and why it is happening again when I feel emotionally stronger.

I don't understand this- surely if I am feeling better emotionally then I should be feeling better mentally and physically too?

Thank you.

  • can i ask how you manage the associated anxiety that goes with your asd?

    am a female with asd and my anxiety is a huge issue.

    tried with limited improvement various antidepressants.

    now taking pregabalin. helps a lot, but doesn't resolve it all and i'm not sure it's a long term solution.

    trying cbt but finding it very upsetting and not much help. maybe it's just too early in the program, but it just makes me feel more of a failure.

    any suggestions on how you all cope with your anxiety greatly received.
