Maybe, once those anxiety symptoms are taken care of, you won't feel fatigued? But if you do still feel fatigue, just take care of yourself, ok?

Thanks for the reply! When I was prescribed medication for depression, I wasn't really having much of a problem with anxiety. I was actually being hospitalized after a suicide attempt. I know that I had a few panic attacks every so often, but it was no where near as bad as it is now. Maybe since the depression has lessened, I can actually notice the anxiety? Who knows.
I actually do not really see a doctor annually. I do have a primary doctor, but I do not have health insurance so I only go if I really really really need it because it is so expensive. The last time I saw him was maybe two years ago or so? He did monitor the depression and medication. He did a lot of blood work but nothing really came of it? I think that now that I am a little older and actually concerned with my well being now, I would bring up the anxiety and all of the physical symptoms that still lingers. When I was younger and still stuck in an awful place, I really just wanted in and out of there so I would always just "go through the motions" and say that I was doing great, etc.
Ohh, I don't know. Sometimes I wonder, what if I am just a hypochondriac?
