Physical symptoms

[Lindsey14]

Can anxiety give you physical symptoms? Like headaches and body aches?

I know mine does. It causes stomach pains, back pains, and also neck pain. I also get headaches sometimes and nausea.

In short , yes it can .. this is when you have to float and ignore instead of fear .. everyone aches or has a pain from time to time .as long as you know it’s anxiety or stress related, get on with the day , don’t give it focus or attention and it will pass like any other symptoms of this debilitating illness.

yes, completely! when your body is in constant panic mode, your nerves become hypersensitive and you can actually be in a lot of pain from it! it’s not dangerous, just super uncomfortable and scary. once you start the path to recovery, the physical sensations will soon go away, not right away, but soon enough will. do not fear the sensations, acknowledge they are anxiety, and you will slowly notice them going away once you stop letting the fear control you.
