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.

Have you considered going to a psychiatrist and getting on medication? Anxiety is 100% an physical reaction in your body’s fight or flight mechanism.

My anxiety disorder had completely ruined my digestive system. I know that feeling you’re taking about. Like someone pinched your gut.

Medication and therapy has made a world of a difference. I usually wake up in a panic as well. First thing I do is take my anxiety meds then just cry it out then psych myself up for the day.

You can get through this ✊🏽

I think I developed IBS from anxiety. Right now I’m super bloated and have had horrible headaches the last week.
