Title: Knock out tiredness with disassociation
Post by: Boatsetsailrose on August 23, 2018, 12:37:41 PM
Hi I'm querying at the moment when I experience a period of dissociation what the' knock out' tiredness is about.
Is it the brains way as a coping mechanism? Is it that experiencing the ef /anxiety state is so draining due to the emotional brain /amagdala?

Do others get the knock out tiredness? That massive need to  sleep..
It does feel like emotional tiredness on a huge scale for me...

I get the tiredness too.  I think it's caused by the cortisol levels increasing which after causes a crash???? Just a thought.

I tend to want to sleep and sleep and sleep when I'm like that.  Do some self care as best you can  :hug:

Hi deep blue
Yes sleep sleep sleep is exactly how it is.. Def about the self care and tailoring things down to, simple and gentle..
Feeling a bit better today although still. Out of sorts and rapid breathing but not so detached
