Locked up muscles

[Smiley3278]

I have anxiety and it seems to be getting worse for some reason, my back muscles are so locked up it’s painful. I went and got a massage today and as the day progressed all the muscles I had just painfully relaxed where all jammed up again. Does anyone else have this and what can I do I constantly feel like I’ve been in a boxing match

I know what you meant, I've having the same problem lately even, at soon I woke up I can feel the pain in my back. I tried to do some yoga in the morning sometimes help sometimes not.

It's because when our anxiety hits all our muscles tense up. Have you tried breathing slowly in through your nose out through your mouth. I wish you all the best & am here for you! XXX
