Please talk to me about physical symptoms
Post Body

Hey there!

So, my anxiety came back after 7 years worry and attack free. Oh man, I mean I thought I had it beaten. It was paradise. I was on top of everything, had a "You can get better" attitude, was so chill all the time. I was content.

Well, holy fuck did it come back with a HAMMER.

The fatigue and the shakes that come with it are KILLING me. "The Fear" as I call it...it grips me HARD when my legs start feeling too weak to walk on. I get out of breath going up steps. Muscle cramps in my back. My sinuses feel like just the top half of my jaw is gonna blow or something sometimes. I'm 32.

I'm a fitness guy. I leg press 525lbs x10 for 4 sets at least once a week. When I feel strong, I feel strong. I do full upper body stuff, lower body stuff.

But for the last two days I had a headache, my neck seized up, I got so weak I could just sit on all 4's and breathe. I cried. I took ibuprofen for the headache and got so weak I couldn't get off the couch without breathing hard. Today a muscle on the left side of my neck is tender to the touch and I'm crazy tired. Recently had a physical and everything was Green except high triglycerides and high blood pressure because, yep, anxious about being there.

Can you all talk to me about physical symptoms? I just need a reminder right now that this is anxiety and not COVID or Cancer or something. Like I'm HEALTHY so what is HAPPENING?
