I would ask your: Provider. Often cognitive behavioral therapy is excellent as monotherapy for anxiety. At other times the best treatment is a mixture of pharmacotherapy ; non-pharmaceutical approaches. Take care.

Is it normal for cognitive behavioral therapy/exposure for anxiety to make you feel tired and kinda down at the start? I can imagine fighting comfort/anxiety is stressful on the body, make sense?
