Does anyone ever look fatigue by the eyes? I look at myself in the mirror and my eyes look tired and weak, I've even had ppl tell me I look weak by my eyes. Does anxiety cause this? Has this happened to anyone else?
Hi Chandra,
When we worry if shows in our face and our eyes. I have noticed the same with me when I am over anxious. It's stress due to all that worrying.
If I get up in the morning I can usually tell if I am going to have a good day and I definitely notice the difference in my appearance. Also, if I feel like crap I dress to suit, if I feel good I take a bit more pride in how I look.
Another reason could be eye strain due to spending so much time doing what I am doing now lol
Take care
Thank you Jayn, I wish I didn't worry so much but as u know it's hard not to😢 it seems like everyday it's something different going on! Will it ever get better again? Will I ever be normal again ? 🙏🙏 for better days
I know it's not easy but you have to accept that it is anxiety and it will play tricks on you.
When I had it really bad I imagined I had all sorts of illnesses. I felt so low, lost loads of weight, took time off work.
I then read an article in a magazine about a woman who had really bad anxiety and she described how she made the decision she wanted her life back. She pushed herself to do the things she was afraid of doing like going out, meeting people etc and she inspired me. I thought I want to do that too. So I made the conscientious effort to do things gradually like going out, joining an art class, meeting new people, driving my car etc. It worked for me too and I got back to work after several weeks of feeling so ill.
You will get better you have to get yourself in the right frame of mind.
Best wishes
