can being tired make you more anxious?

seems like when I'm tired thats when I'm more anxious. is tehre a tie in?

[SheenaMonkey]

ABSOLUTELY. I have had anxiety all my life and the less rest I get, the less able I become at handling life. I "freak out" easier, cry easier, over react. I have a 1 1/2 month old and lately I have been at my worst. But when things get bad, Daddy has to take over and I get some sleep. I also tend to get angry much easier, but I have to be very sleep deprived to cause that.

I hope you get some sleep soon and feel better right away!

I get it when I am tired--basically any extremes in my feelings--extremely tired, my monthlies and I am moody, when I am extremely hungry-that kind of thing

I find that it can. When I don't get any sleep I'm way worse. I have to get my sleep.
