(long) Can anxiety make you have ZERO energy?? scared! Help plz!?
I think you are looking for reassurance more than anything else. If the doctors say nothing is wrong then you don't have anything of a degree to give you all the usual neurotic symptoms. You have to stop going back to physical causes and believe it is psychological. I can assure you that as long as you think there is a chance it is physical the weakness and all the other feelings will stay with you. Fear burns energy rapidly leaving you tired. Over thinking tires the brain and leaves you emotionally exhausted and dizzy. You fear emotional and physical collapse but it won't happen you will just stay miserable. Arguing is not for you, it will only make you feel worse and win you no converts. I know your symptoms are real and i also know they are from stress. You are not lazy, you are not useless, you are just trapped in a cycle of anxiety, fatigue, anxiety. You are going to have to accept your symptoms and practice doing things in spite of them. You will prove to yourself you can do things. Just make an effort to try to do things you feel you cannot and do not stop because you are weak or dizzy. Eventually you will see your strength return and your shortness of breath diminish. You know the shortness of breath is actually the tiny muscles in your bronchi oles contracting during stress as do other muscles. Don't let this cause panic as it is harmless and you will always be able to breathe. If you want to live a normal life you are going to have to put in a great effort to overcome this. Unfortunately there are no pills that cure it and not amount of talk will be as effective as doing things. You may be a hypochondriac and the people in your life may be partially correct. They have to understand what you are going through internally and be willing to give you encouragement. Saying things that will make you feel worse will only make you worse. Good Luck!
