I'm Tired

I'm tired a LOT. As a matter of fact, I've written at least one journal entry titled, "Always Tired". But, today I'm tired because I had to get X-rays of my left knee which has been hurting for approx. a week. One "position" they wanted me in was agonizing and brought tears to my eyes. Another two or three were very painful. Why does pain and/or very high anxiety make someone tired? It could be (IMHO) due to our bodies trying to compensate for what it thinks is an attack that we are neither fighting against nor fleeing from. Or, perhaps it's because we are fighting our urge to flee. Either way, pain, anxiety and especially a combination of the two can make a person extremely tired!

Hello.

Hi. This blog is not meant to be a diagnosis or free psychoanalysis.

PLEASE seek professional help if you haven't already done so!

Everything written here is from my personal experiences! There is not an MD or a PhD after my name, nor do I claim to have ANY experience as a counselor.
However, I am in recovery! I've been going to doctors and counselors for many years and still visit on a regular basis. I deal with ADD/ADHD, depression and anxiety Every Hour of every day!

Some of my journal entries and observations will be typed in. What I've learned has been or will be turned into suggested steps for anyone else suffering from Anxiety, Depression, and/or Attention Deficit Disorder (with or without Hyperactivity).
