Do you walk around with a permanent “whacked out” feeling? Both anxiety and depression can cause you to experience abnormal exhaustion. It’s quite understandable that you’ll feel tired and unmotivated if you’re constantly stressed beyond breaking point. On the other end of the spectrum, one of the most important symptoms of underlying depression is tiredness and the desire to sleep all the time.
Take action:
If you suspect that your tiredness is caused by emotional problems, consult a clinical psychologist and/or a psychiatrist to help resolve whatever problems you’re struggling with. The only way to free yourself from anxiety and/or depression is to define the cause and work out a plan of action to address it.
