Anxiety causing nerve pain

I have a diary, seems to be sleep loss, sometimes alcohol, stress then a event. My marriage was very abusive so the reactions stems from that tried therapy, tried everything I have two young boys who need a dad, right now simply my digestion firing up after eating is giving me pain it's terrible truly terrible

Do you currently have a counsellor or a therapist or someone who is trained to help?

No tried that last year plus how do u stop a automated reaction

First accept what is going on. Anxiety can be debilitating. If you have no other evident based illness you need to accept this for what it is to begin to conquer or manage it. You can retrain it through repetition. Focus and disipline They do brushing and bio feedback and diet changes for young kids.  Many kids with sensory processing disorders end up with horrible anxiety. They over stimulate fast.They have many centers for children but very few for adults. I have only found bio feedback and found it very useful. When stressed, over stressed muscles spasms and tighten that just one of a ton of symptoms. The ones you focus on and fear will be the ones to cause the most doscomfort. Massage and bio feedback might be very helpful for you. Bio feedback is when they hook you up to machine to teach you proper breathing and how to get your body to a calmer level, evident based its not talk therapy. That would be seperate doctor. Many just dont have the energy to focus on lifestyle changes, or acceptance and run to pills for quick fix. Most find it isnt a quick fix. Some it does work well. They have diets for inflammation, heart smart diets and keep well hydrated. Constantly stressing and spasming your muscles will cause muscle soreness and pinched nerves..how could it not. If you sat down and made a fist and released for an hour your hand would be extremly sore and take a while to heal why do you think your other muscles should be an exception? Think about that. but the symptoms are not the cause, thats the effect. Its real. You can slowly gett all this under manageable control. You just need first to accept it for what it is, if you can find a place to do bio feedback..do it and see if that helps (it cant hurt), find a place to get regular messages and get in a healthy diet and make it your lifestyle. Be patient with everything, life has a lot of stresses.feel better and good luck.

 

Thanks mine is a build up of tension the a anxiety reaction I do accept it but it leaves me with the pulled muscles and nerves, will look at bio

what do you mean? 

Do you mean automated like you have no control over it?

If so, treatment like CBT can really help

Really? Confused as when I looked at cbt I thought it was about controlling the way you think

but that should help and change the way your body reacts to things, right?

it just seems, stress tightens the muscles and give a ache a normal person could deal with, add the anxiety and its terrible.

I know I get tense with anxiety and that causes muscle strain

really ? I havent ever found anyone else who has the same thing ? I have spent years being put though tests causing extra stress....

Yes I get it all the time.

But anxiety is a strange illness I was sure I was ill and then had loads of test done and its all psychosimatic.

It may be something completly different that is causing you pain

 

ok let me break it down a little:

1. Lost sleep, stayed up till 12, up at 6

2. Drank alchol

3. Had some stress

4. Had a larger stress event

BANG, my world ended, I can see nothing but black, I am in the midst of it. I cannot see out.  I googled psychosimatic but didnt quite get it

Ok I dont know what your pain is like so as I said in my last post anxiety can cause muscle strain from being tense

If your on medication you should be drinking alcohol.

I dont think your world ended coz you are talking to me now.

Insomnia is another anxiety symptom but it is also a depression symptom.

I think you should go back to doc get reviewed and maybe consider therapy CBT is a cheap first step therapy there are better ones out there.

Anxiety also strives from stress and fear

Stay strong
