Depersonalization and adrenal fatigue

Those who struggle with anxiety often state that they feel tired or run down. They feel flat, exhausted, confused and dazed. Feelings of depersonalization often appear when one feels frustrated and trapped in the cycle of worry and fear.

There is a logical explanation for these sensations and also a way to overcome the state of exhaustion and unreality that one is now experiencing.

The explanation is of paramount importance.

Those who struggle with anxiety often state that they feel tired or run down. They also struggle with feelings of unreality and brain fog. This feeling of exhaustion is caused by the combination of:

1 – Constant release of adrenaline, in response to the habit of thinking with fear.

2 – A significant decrease in serotonin due to ongoing stressful thoughts, worry, and poor diet/nutrition.

This is why so many who struggle with anxiety often find themselves in a state of exhaustion due to the general release of adrenaline. Each worrying thought triggers a slight release of adrenaline, and each panicked thought triggers an even greater release. It makes perfect sense that one would experience symptoms of adrenal fatigue and depersonalization after a period of time.

Other triggers:

Generalized Stress
Pressures and unresolved issues
Stressful people and situations
Improper diet and nutrition, refined and processed foods
skipping meals
Lack of sleep
Illness
Medicine

There is a definite pattern that makes this easy to identify.

One begins to experience the symptoms of:

Feelings of exhaustion, especially in the first part of the day.
emotionally flat
Lack of appetite
insomnia
inability to concentrate
Dizziness and lightheadedness
Hypoglycemic reactions: reactive to foods rich in carbohydrates.
Feelings of unreality and confusion – Symptoms of depersonalization

Believe it or not, with the right approach, these feelings of depersonalization and adrenal fatigue dissipate fairly quickly. A few corrections in diet/nutrition and behavior will get you back on track and the result is reconciliation of previous symptoms.

It’s important to know how to naturally repair both your mind and body from both adrenal fatigue and the feeling of brain fog that comes from adrenal fatigue.
