Does anyone experience back pain from anxiety? Feeling like you will pass out? Gone off food?

[Hidden]

My back pain will make my anxiety trigger.As far as "gone off food"??? My severe pain makes me not want to eat per intensity n depression kicks in.Vicious cycle.

[1984jfk in reply to Hidden]

It’s a very vicious cycle... how I can differ from one day to the next is scary... makes me paranoid something is wrong with me.

[Hidden in reply to 1984jfk]

I think because pain has intensity,being paranoid kinda is normal reaction.Oh crap..now whats wrong with me!?

[1984jfk in reply to Hidden]

I know just want to feel normal again.. I’m 36 but feel 86! Going for blood tests next week and convinced they are going to find something..

[Hidden in reply to 1984jfk]

I don't know..NORMAL is overrated,LOLHopefully ur blood test results arent anything serious.

I’ve been losing so much weight because of anxiety.Its a horrible feeling.Its also even worse when it plays havoc with your appetite.take care your not alone.xx

[1984jfk in reply to Tillymay]

Some days I can barely eat anything. Other days I can eat and eat but can’t stomach a big meal.

[Tillymay in reply to 1984jfk]

Have you lost weight as well?.I look and feel terrible because of it.I get a knotted feeling in the stomach then I just can’t eat.do you get that feeling?Xx

[1984jfk in reply to Tillymay]

I seem to get it every few days. And when I get the feeling in my stomach I think it’s bowel cancer or stomach cancer so then I don’t feel like eating. Christmas Day I had to force myself to eat a small turkey dinner.. I could have thrown up at the sight of it. I can snack on things throughout the day on good days but the thought of a big meal 🤢

[Tillymay in reply to 1984jfk]

I’m the same as you it’s a awful feeling I forced my Christmas dinner down as well.if someone put a big meal in front of me I would be sick.xx I’m pleased I meet someone the same as me.Not that I would wish it on you xx

My partner had to tell me to just eat one more potato or some more turkey... felt like a little kid 😂 I’m not sure if because I’ve got a bad back but some days I feel so weak I feel like my legs will give way... do you get that? X

[Tillymay in reply to 1984jfk]

Yes I think it’s because we’re not getting enough nutrition.Also the pain in the back could be kidneys because I don’t eat and drink enough and then my kidneys start to play up I get kidneys infections and the back pain is awful at the bottom of the back.my other half always tells me to eat more but I just can’t.i wish I could as I only weigh 54kg 8 stone xxx

I drink plenty, I’m never without a drink. But get the lower back pain and pain in the flanks and abdomen. I’m having a glass of red tonight and feel relaxed I know it’s not the answer but feel normal until tomorrow. It’s the lack of energy and the slightest thing like going to do the food shopping that wears me out.. think it’s because I work myself up about doing it.

[Tillymay in reply to 1984jfk]

God we do sound alike,I get so tired all the time,and I hate doing things like the food shop.i find having a drink of wine helps my appetite but I know that’s not the answer but it does help.it relaxes me.

I don’t go back to work for another week but dreading the thought of it... because of Covid I only go in twice a week which is enough... not sure if it’s the winter that makes me feel like this but if I go anywhere including my parents I just want to get home.. that’s really not me.. I love going to see family and hate sitting down doing nothing
