Weak, trembling and feeling off balance.

[Hardluck]

Here I go again! My better half is sick of me being sick. No where to turn to. Throbbing muscles, weak legs and arms, I feel like I want to curl up in a ball and die. Lots of pain. The family wanted to go away after Christmas but because of my condition (just Anxiety according to neurologists and specialists) I felt I couldn't travel overseas. Now the entire house is against me, especially my wife. I have no appetite and I'm losing weight. Various meds, mindfulness, CBT but here I am, feeling like garbage, nothing seems to be working and things only seem to be getting worse.

Hi Hardluck, You are not alone with others around you not understanding how we feel. Feeling alone is another part of anxiety that is hard to deal with. Feeling that we ruin all the fun out of life makes us feel even worse. It does seem a little harsh for anxiety to be causing lots of pain and throbbing muscles. I've had the weak arms and legs because of always tensing up. Whenever loss of weight is involved, it really needs to be re-evaluated. Seems like you are doing the right things but you shouldn't be getting worse. Please talk with your therapist or doctor again. Right now, this is about you. You are going to have to put your family's needs on hold. Take care.
