Anxiety can take a heavy toll on your body, even if it doesn't feel like it at first.

Biologically, anxiety means your nervous system is on high alert- it thinks there is an imminent threat to you, and focuses your entire body to prepare to either run or fight. This biological response not only involves almost every part of your body, but in a very extreme fashion (since your body thinks it is literally life or death).

Even if you aren't having a full panic attack, a heightened level of anxiety puts your body to work, and you will certainly feel out of it the next day.

Fatigue with anxiety is very common. Your mind is constantly wondering and worrying. For me, I am thinking literally every second of the day, and of course that's going to make me exhausted. I am lucky enough that I can sleep at night because I am so exhausted from constantly thinking something is wrong with me.

Anxiety can be tiring and stressful to both body and mind. However, I have noticed to that if I am overly tired, I generally am more likely to have anxiety attacks throughout the day.
