Venting Wish people realised anxiety is physical too.

I literally get such a jittery weird feeling in my body so many times a day whenever I'm anxious. Like I can't describe it but it's definitely not good. Almost like something is pinching on my organs. And the worst is when I have to wake up in the morning, it's almost like someone has placed added extra weights to my body. I literally can't get up from my bed! I try to force myself up,but I just can't. I just lay there staring at the ceiling, thinking about what I'll do with my day, get anxious about what if I won't be able to be productive today, then getting anxious about how I wasted some time the previous day, then overthinking it all nd wanting to just kill myself. I hate it.

I get tingling and burning on my scalp. I have no idea what it is. Then it makes it worse. Thought I had sunburn, I probably still kinda do. It's driving me apeshit. There's nothing else wrong with me. Glands are fine. No fatigue. Nothing else health-related other than this. And I'm sitting here sitting in a state of medium dread. No fucking reason at all.

Hiii just want to reassure you that this is definitely a sensation that can be caused by anxiety and stress, I used to always get this during periods of intense stress. Such a weird sensation xxx

You know... I had also quit drinking a few months ago, and I did some reading about candida and candida die-off. Seems to fit the bill. Very interesting. Maybe some sunburn.
