It seems that every time my anxiety is triggered I get a ton of pressure in the muscles of my forehead for a while until the thoughts calm down. It feels rather sore and annoying! Is this normal for people with anxiety and is it safe? Thanks.

Hi Marc,

A self massage of your temples and drinking a glass or two water to flush out the bad hormones works wonders. Your body can only handle increased stress levels for 20-30 minutes before relief comes. The biggest problem is continual stressors (thinking or feelings) activating your alarm system which doesn't reset. A psychologist can help with addressing the root cause of your anxiety.
