Vannessa, your mind and body are reacting to anxiety in the same way as everybody else's would in your position. There is nothing abnormal about you - or what you are experiencing.

The first thing to deal with is what has given you anxiety disorder? What is it in your life that has caused you such distress that it has resulted in the over sensitisation of your nervous system. It could be over work, a toxic relationship, guilt, loss, grief, shame, disappointment etc. Only you know what it is.

So if you can remove the cause of your anxiety from your life. You must be quite ruthless in doing this as your future well-being and mental health depend on it.

The cause of your anxiety is constantly "recharging" your sensitive nerves with stress hormones as you add second fear to the flash of first fear. Over sensitised nerves are then magnifying by ten times any small worries you might have.

So look for the cause of your downfall, make a plan to remove yourself from its influence. Once successfully implemented your nerves will calm themselves and you will begin to regain your peace of mind.

Vanessa, you can recover from this, you must not lose faith in that. I can well understand how distressing this is for you.

I think the first thing to ask is what came first.

Did the anxiety come first and then the tmj?

Or did the tmj symptoms come first and then the anxiety?

You see, I am wondering whether the tmj in your case is a symptom of anxiety. Believe me, anxiety is very very capable of mimicking all the symptoms of tmj.

What do you think? I'm in the U.K. where times of day are different so I may not be quick to reply.

Vanessa, TMJ can be caused in the first place by people clenching and tensing their jaw in response to anxiety.

Can I suggest you Google search for "tmj king's college hospital" and read what it says there about the condition. King's College Hospital is a respected hospital in London so they know what they're talking about.

You will note that they too mention that jaw clenching and tensing the jaw muscles due to anxiety can start TMJ and that once established it causes even more anxiety .

I'm suggesting you read this hospital's page on tmj just for information. The more we know about things the more power we have to overcome them.
