Physical numbness

[Turtlegirl4]

I have been experiencing a lot of numbness when my anxiety is very high. I feel it mainly in my face and arms. I also have been clenching my jaw much more recently which I know can also cause numbness. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, have you found any relief? The numbness makes me feel very uncomfortable and it's almost impossible to ignore it so it's just a vicious cycle of the numbness getting worse cus of my anxiety and my anxiety getting worse cus of the numbness

Hello Turtlegirl4. Have you ever spoken to your doctor about your anxiety? It may be you could benefit from an antianxiety medication. I have a terrible habit of clenching my teeth and I get a lot of jaw pain. Some people find using a mouth guard at night helps. I do not know if that is something you may like to try.

Turtlegirl4, Hi i'm in high school and i have really bad anxiety. My bff Izzy told me to breath and count until im feeling better. People say that anxiety can lead to depression and trust me you dont want to deal with depression. If my advise doesn't work try talking to a doctor. Bye❤️❤️❤️❤️

You’re hyperventilating. You’re breathing too shallow. When your anxiety is high you must focus on breathing. Deep breaths in and slow releases. It changes everything in your body including your brain chemicals.
