Jelly/achey/stretch legs and arms, worst when I'm laying down

It's so horrible! It never goes away... Like I can walk anywhere fine, but my legs and sometimes my arms feel like their drunk kinda feeling. Last night was horrible, I used to sleep flat position with my legs straight, but since I had this, my legs feel so odd this way, so I have to sleep in another position. As for the hunger, I have a full meal, still hungry! Think it's anixety related/ mind?

I know it's so horrible, it's like you just can't get comfy, and I have to rub my legs and feet together ?!?!? So weird !

Have no idea why we're hungry all the time, I reckon it's just something to do with the hormones. And also i do comfort eat a lot, just want this anxiety to go , it's so horrible and I'm so embarrassed by it because people who don't have it don't understand it at all ! X

I mean I'm only 19, I feel like a old man, it's like I feel tense all over my body. And so odd how it happened over night, have you been to the doctors about it, and I'm hungry and hour, and no one understands when you talk to them about it, there like don't think about it and it will go away, it's kind of hard when it's there 24/7!

I know right I'm only 21! Yep, I've had the worst 7 months of my life, I don't know why it happened just out of the blue. The doctor thinks I was spiked that night and it's triggered the anxiety off, but I really don't know. It took me about 5 months to fully believe it was anxiety, I thought I had something else wrong with me and didn't believe it was "just anxiety" but I had loads of tests done, MRI, heart scan, blood tests, and when they all came back clear I had to finally convince myself I had anxiety, and once I accepted it a lot of the symptoms did actually go away. I still feel dizzy and spaced out, hungry all the time and twitch abit , but nothing compared to what it was a few months ago! Have you been to the doctor x

I'm so glad you mentioned spaced out as well! I feel like that all the time! Mornings when I first wake up are the worst! Does your eyes feel not tired, but sort of feel like you have been staring at a computer all day?

But I've been to the doctors, seen 3 different doctors, always seem to be new ones when I book to see them ️aha. But had bloods done for infections, thyroid etc. All came back clear. The 3rd doctor said its anxiety, I was quite tearful there, I said it happened over night and had 2 months of it. He said it can happen over night, and that the mind creates the physical symptoms. And it can be there 24/7. He's put me on antidepressants last week. I felt stupid for having them, since I've spent years coping with everyday stresses etc. But I just want to get back to my normal self.

Trust me I've had all the physical symptoms there are!!! Yep spaced out all the time, I feel like I'm on drugs constantly !!! (I'm not) lol, Yep, my eyes are the worst symptom , I have really blurred vision, but went to the opticians and they said I have perfect eye sight! It's as though I've just woken up and I've rubbed my eyes, and yeah as if I 've been staring at a computer all day!

What medication are you on?? I've just started citalopram, I really didn't want to go on medication but it got to the point where I had to try something new

It's such a relief to talk to someone who is feeling the same! Did your Doctor explain why it happens over night or? And I've just started sertraline last week, takes a few weeks to feel any difference if it works

I know I used to think I was the only person in the whole world who felt like it!!

No they didn't I feel like even doctors don't understsnd anxiety unless they've experienced it!! Hope the medication works !

My doctor was quite nice about me talking about it. some doctors aren't really interested in anxiety are they! Do you have days when it's better than others? Our minds are strange things right. Far more complex in how it works and creates physical symptoms etc. Do you feel that somedays you don't want to do anything expect sit down and do nothing, since I've had this I've sometimes felt like emotionless. Which isn't good since I do performing arts haha! How long have you been on that medication?

It's hard to find a doctor who seems to understand and care! I've finally found one who seems like they genuinely care about me, all the others have just sat at there computer and just sent me away!!! Some days are better than others, but to be honest it's just constantly there, since that night I've never felt the same. Yep all I wanna do is lye in bed, I don't even get bored, I can lye in bed the entire day just staring at the wall and not care. I'm not depressed at all, but I think the anxiety is affecting my life so much it's taking its toll on me abit. I'm emotionless at the moment as well, it's not ideal is it!!!!

Exactly how I feel 100%. I just stay up late as I can, because I know my legs will feel worse when I lay in bed! As for the mornings, I don't feel tired when I get up, but my whole body feels spaced out/emotionless, not wanting to get up and do anything!

Do you know anyone else or spoke anyone who is the same as us? It has to be anxiety related. That night it happened to both of us. The mind went overload or something, anxiety related!? Because I've been fine for months before it happened etc! Amount of times I've look on the Internet for related symptoms, bad idea haha!

Honestly at first I thought I was the only person in the world and that I was going to die. But now I've just tried to tell myself every day it's okay it's anxiety and it will be okay. Yep I met a girl who has exactly the same as us. Me and the other girl have depersonalisation and de realisation, so we don't feel real, and feel like we're always in a dream. Dno if you have that as well??

Oh tell me about it, researching my symptoms is honestly the worst thing I've ever done in my life. I'd stay up for hours reading on what I have. I diagnosed myself with liver disease, neurone disease, the lot!!!! It's crazy to think anxiety can make us have all thee symptoms. I just want it to go, I'm doing everything possible to make it go away, and when people say oh just snap out of it or something I just wanna hit them! Ahaha x

Oh god yes! I have that de realisation thing all the time! I'm SO fed up off it! Everyone is always on a me to get a grip or there's nothing wrong with you! X

I'm

Fed up of it too feel like it's ruining my life, I have no idea what to do, I iust hope the meds work !!! It's so annoying , if we had a broken leg or something it would be easier cos people could see how it's affecting us, but because it's all inside, and it's in our heads , it's so hard to explain!

I so agree! But the most positive thing about this, if there is any, that it's in our mind, which means we can over come it! Just takes time and a lot of effort! At least we have good days and bad days right!
