I am just wondering, is anxiety often a part of PVS/CFS?
I didn't suffer from anxiety, or depression. Emotionally I was pretty stable. But this started on day one; the very day I first felt I was coming down with a flu bug over 10 weeks ago. I never had this before then.
Sometimes it's hard to tell if the anxiety sensation is caused by not feeling well generally, or if not feeling well is a result of the anxiety.
The shakiness felt like extreme physical weakness most of the time, but I am also feeling a deeply negative psychological reaction too.
I feel like I can't cope with usual little stresses of life -even having to drive somewhere I don't know well. It would be SO hard to even get to the hospital if I needed it. I feel worse if I have to do anything much at all, and never used to.
Does everyone get these weird "anxiety" feelings? Is it the body being at its lowest ebb, and sending a message that some things are off-limits when all it wants to do is recover because it is very weak? And the anxiety comes when we try to push through (which many of us have to do to function.) -as a natural response?
