so many symptoms

[jodary]

Does anyone else suffer with a lot of physical symptoms? I feel like I have something different every day which I know my husband struggling to understand. Today it’s a bad headache on top of my head and back of neck. I woke up with it , had it so many times even got a scan because I was convinced it was something bad. If not that stomach issues, back pain, all sorts. Does anyone relate to this ?

Yes, bigtime. There are a lot of physical symptoms associated with anxiety and stress which can exacerbate anxiety. I find a big cause is there is a lot of muscle tension, shallow breathing and poor posture which can result in a lot of physical symptoms. A couple of things that might help are:

-Yoga

-Exercise (walking etc)

- and things like TRE trecourse.com/courses/

- also meditation

It is worth trying that stuff to see if it can lessen the symptoms, sometimes it can. Wishing you peace and health.

neck and shoulder tension or pain from grinding teeth constantly. I also snap at people out of the blue, especially if not wel medicated.

Hi Jodary, Some of our mental health symptoms mimic those of a physical illness. Statisically, we are 3-5 times more likely to wind up at our doctor's office.

Katie Morton, a psychologist, wants us to "be open to the idea that what you physically feel may come from something going on psychologically....knowing it's origin can help us find you the proper care" 🐈‍⬛
