@Shaz51. Often we are unaware of what stress and depression can do to our bodies.

@Tarni. One of the best ways of coping I find, is to do breathing exercises.

Three deep breaths. Then just focusing all your attention on your breath. It can help to relax your body enough to stop the body symptoms.

I have a total lack of energy everything feels heavy humid aching slow wet hot cold uncomfortable like being nine months pregnant. My whole body feels like it's working overtime and my minds capacity to hold information is zero. Critical thinking is impossible.

@esprit. I understand that total lack of any energy. And forget trying to concentrate or memorise any new information. There is no space left in the brain for that.
