Summary

In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I dive into a pervasive issue that many who live with anxiety face but often do not discuss—fatigue. I explore the deep, confusing exhaustion that too many equate with weakness or failure, while in reality, it is a significant indicator of chronic stress and anxiety. Together, we seek to illuminate the underlying reasons for this fatigue, helping listeners understand what their bodies are trying to communicate.

I start by describing the kind of fatigue that seeps into so many aspects of life—waking up tired, struggling through the day, and ending it perplexed about why it feels as if I’ve aged overnight. This deeply rooted fatigue often becomes a shadow in our lives, but the truth is, if you’ve ever thought "Why am I this tired?" you are certainly not alone. The conversation aims to unpack the links between anxiety, stress, and fatigue, shedding light on what can often feel like an insurmountable burden.

As I delve deeper into the connection between anxiety and fatigue, I explain how the body, when in a state of perceived danger, prioritizes survival over restoration. The chronic activation of the stress response leads to a range of physiological problems—from heightened heart rates to tense muscles, and shallow breathing. This ongoing strain is exhausting and can be likened to running a marathon in the background of our daily lives without ever finding a moment to rest.
