I’m a single mom to a special needs child and under extreme stress daily. I also have bad anxiety. Lately my body has just been aching, but mostly my legs. Now my anxiety is kicking in and I’m thinking something else is wrong. I’ve convinced myself I have cancer or something. Does body/ muscle aches sound like a stress/ anxiety symptoms?? Ugh I’m sick of this, I just want a normal life
