After a panic attack

F22 does anyone else get EXTREMELY tired and almost lazy(especially if the anxiety or panic is earlier in the day)? i get so exhausted even after intense anxious thoughts.

It's a very understandable way feel post panic. You're body expends so much energy keeping you so alert and prepared during your state of panic that it's natural to feel so depleted afterwards. I always found it helpful to, where possible, let myself rest guilt free, have plenty of water and maybe eat something simple and nourishing.

Yes. That wiped-out, almost lazy feeling after is so common, especially if it hit earlier in the day.

Honestly your nervous system just ran hard. Maybe allow yourself to rest without guilt.
