Bye Bye Panic

The Truth About Anxiety Fatigue (And Why Rest Isn’t Enough)


Listen Later

Why do I feel so wiped out if I haven’t even done anything?

It’s not the version of anxiety most people picture. Not the racing heart or jittery hands. Not the buzzing, panicked kind of energy. This feels different – slower, heavier. A kind of fatigue that settles in deep and makes even the smallest tasks feel far too big.

But for a lot of people, this is anxiety.

This episode gets into that – the hidden link between anxious physiology and exhaustion. What actually causes the crash. And why rest, while tempting, isn’t always what helps.

Tune in and let’s look at the fatigue through a different lens.
