just so exhausted
I finally started therapy recently because anxiety has just been taking over my life, can’t say I’ve made much progress yet though. I’m pretty sure anxiety is the reason I’ve just been so tired for months and really absolutely do not want to do anything, I just want to sit around because that’s all I have the motivation for. I think it’s also contributed to me clenching my jaw a lot because for the past week I’ve had this pain in my face around that area. Now when I finally tell myself I’m going to let my anxious thoughts go so I can just fall asleep tonight, the jaw pain suddenly takes over my whole face and back of my head. I’m just so sick of all of this because now I’m just having more problems develop. 😔

Hello Chris, I'm happy to hear you started therapy. Your story reminds me of myself a lot. Haha. I had so much panic attacks, I got scared of sleeping at night because I would feel I will stop breathing in my sleep.
You know what I did, I went to YouTube and found some sleep meditation videos. I would listen to them till I sleep off. I made me stop waking up and thinking I would die in my sleep.
I don't know if it will help you but I recommend you try them every night. Also I recommend you stop sitting around all day. Don't make your anxiety control your life. I know this is hard but don't. Find something that will keep your mind busy all day. You will feel better whenever you know you accomplished something each day. Be like working for someone, helping people live their dreams or working for yourself. Do something fulfilling each day, then listen to those calm sleep meditation before you sleep. Funny enough, if you exhaust yourself by working each day, you may not need sleep meditation audios.
Take it step by step though. Start from using d sleep audios at night then take your time to think of how to get busy each day.
I'm rooting and cheering for you! Sending all my love and support to you
