Bruising easily

[Slammysammy]

Hey everyone i was just wondering if anyone has started bruising much easier since they started having anxiety. I bruise like a peach and i dont remember ever bruising like this before i had anxiety. Of course now the only thing running through my mind is i have cancer or something. Any help would be very appreciated

Well see we tend to have other issues from our anxiety, like digestion issues or what not, etc...and if you are lacking certain nutrients you can bruise easily. It can be something as simple as needing more of a specific vitamin or mineral that is missing from your diet. Don't give it too much thought, but it would be a good idea to let your primary care doctor know. It will be ok. ☺

I think when we have anxiety we notice more things I been bruising easily as well for the longest if I s scratch I bruise

I have always bruised easily but am certainly more aware of it since having anxiety as we are always scanning for possible danger.

Take care

Being anxious makes one hyper-vigilant. So we are aware of each scratch, each muscle twitch, each pain etc.

Good idea to get a blood test done to check.

I have thought this about myself as well. I also jump to the cancer thing.. although I know deep down it's not that.. I'm probably just more clumsy than usual because of being caught up in anxiety related thoughts
