It's definitely not anxiety, but at least one hypothesis is that your body kind of gets stuck in anxiety mode, even though mentally you aren't anxious. Whoa, I have joked about LC myself a few times, because I am exhausted all the time but cannot sleep because I'm constantly thinking and "buzzing". I just the other day was thinking, "boy, this sure feels like I've been having a low-grade anxiety attack for like months or years now..." but I passed it off as a stupid thought. Now I am not so sure that I'm not having a low-grade, constant anxiety attack. I have had to medicate (doctor supervised) almost continuously to reduce the effects of the anxiety I feel, and I feel like it's not going away. I have gone through quite a bit of mental health stuff over the past 2 decades, so even being semi-knowledgeable about myself and what anxiety is, I guess I just overlooked these effects for a while. I was doing so great on the mental health front until this pandemic hit! Do you have any groups you follow that I could go read through that might give me some ideas on how to better combat these effects, assuming they're somehow anxiety related?
