Ashley...i think as we get older,we do need to learn to pace ourselves better..in my head,i feel like i can run a mile..but...phisicaly i know better,as iam 64 and thats one thing i can not do,due to artheritis and all..so i need to right done only a few things i can and know i can do,and not get over tired or exausted...
Hi Bren: I feel the anxiety too when I am overtired. It quickly goes away though if I lie down and do some breathing ex. and think positive thoughts. I pace myself too. I don't have the same strength anymore and it can be so annoying when you want to get something done, but then I remind myself, easy does it, and what's the rush. I try and take time to relax in between and it seems to work.
I think I went through a similar thing yesterday and today(I don't learn as fast as you).
Yesterday, I started pulling some old wiring from the basement, so I could let mom do some laundry, since she likes to take care of her personal clothing. After 90 minutes, I was wiped out.
Today I walked for a couple of hours at an exposition in town, and I feel wiped out too.
I found I was really cranky. Maybe we need to pace ourselves?
It's like Paul McCartney & Wings song "Don't get too tired for love...".
Of course, I don't have a hubby like you. And I wished I'd have shaven before I went out too
My sister and i went shopping,and she loves to shop all day long..well,iam older,and after hours,i feel tired and my feet hurt,so when i came home,i was very anxious,i thought it was from not eating enough for lunch..so i fixed supper and ate,,took a warm shower,then took a xanax,to help..but was also feeling that ol tingling feeling i get,and fear was trying to rais its head too..so i set bake in my safe zone,my recliner,and had a talk with self...took in some deep breathing,and now i am feeling much better..so...does being over tired have anything to do with bringing on aniexty???
My sister is a lot younger than me,but i do try to keep up..as best i can...am i pushing myself to hard?
