I have anxiety, and used to have panic attacks. Ive been taking beta blockers and I haven't had a panic attack in the last week although I almost had one twice. Even though my hands no longer shake, I feel like my body is vibrating much of the time. Ive been sleeping much better since taking the beta blockers, but I feel so tired during the day, but my mum hates this and just keeps telling me i'm lazy. she, like a lot of women, doesn't understand the need for relaxation, and thinks the best way to cope with anything is to go out for boring walks and bike rides or tidy the house. I dont mind this, but some days I would like to just walk into town and not go on a ten mile hike along the same boring route every time.

is there any way to get my mum to understand that im catching up on all the sleep ive missed out on before the beta blockers and that altho im sleeping better my body vibrates with anxiety a lot and so the fight isn't over. ? I just don't know what else to say to her
