0:00.0	Welcome to the Anxiety Coaches
0:09.3	Coaches podcast, a relaxing and informative show where we explore anxiety, panic and PTSD sharing how you can overcome them for life.
0:20.0	Oh, Loh how welcome back to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast. Today we're going to be talking about
0:30.1	our exhaustion and our fatigue and how that is all wrapped up with our anxiety.
0:36.0	A lot of people have exhaustion and fatigue and do not have anxiety,
0:40.0	but when you have both going on it can be really confusing because you can be

2:17.8	situation that is requiring us to be able to move quickly or to get out of the way quickly or to fight or to be strong.
