Muscle tension

Hi,

Have been suffering from severe anxiety for a little while. My main symptom is chronic and painful muscle tension throughout my whole body and dizziness. It never leaves me and makes it hard to relax or do anything normal. Any tips gratefully received.

I have the same , very sore muscles throughout my body along with my arthritis pain.. Everyday is a struggle . I take extra strength Tylenol , helps a little and I feel a bit better after a hot shower or bath..I use An anti inflammatory every now and then after exercising and it gets really bad the next day. I have no idea what the answer is, just one foot in front of the other every day!!I have bought some cannabis infused gummies and have not tried them yet!!!🤦🏻‍♀️

It’s extremely depressing to feel like this everyday:(

I’m a retired Emergency department RN and helped a lot of people but now I can’t even help myself:(:(:(🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m sure that you and many others including myself have sat and wondered ....why me? Anxiety is pure evil. We sit and try to figure this out , but sadly we can’t give ourselves the right answers. It’s the longest roller coaster I have ever ridden. Heck I don’t want know more rides on this roller coaster as I’m sure you don’t it neither. I would love to be able to guide you in the direction you need but that I cannot do. But I can say hang in there and use your faith/family/friends to help guide you on this mission. Best of luck and I mean that.
