Anxiety Support Group

Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...

Dont know what to do

I dont know what to do anymore. I feel like my throat is closing I cant even lay on my side or I feel like I cant breathe like I have been out of breath all day. For some reason my mouth and jaw hurt. I want to call my doctor but I litterally just feel like I am going to bother her, and shes just going to think I am being crazy. I feel like no doctors actually want to help me.. and with the corona virus going on Its going to be hard to find a new one right now..... I feel very helpless

Sorry you're having a rough day. You could wait to see how you feel tomorrow, and you could call your doctor still tomorrow, but maybe you will feel better tomorrow. Can you do something now to distract yourself? Watch TV, put on some music, eat something, drink a big glass of water, go outside for a few minutes, text a friend, look on your social media, look for funny videos on YouTube, etc.

Hope you feel better soon.

I am sorry you feel this way. We are all here for you. Remember you are not a bother to anyone, especially a doctor. They have become doctors to help you, and I don't think you are being crazy, and I doubt a doctor would too. I know you feel helpless right now, but the fact you are reaching out and even making this post shows that you are trying to help yourself, which is very good.

Take a moment to move those sore muscles.

Write out exactly everything in a private journal.

Compare everything in the morning, and do some gentle motions to help move the sore muscles.

Stay hydrated.

Best wishes.

Keep an eye on the breathlessness, it can be a serious symptom but maybe just anxiety. I hope so. Please ring your doctor if you need to, it’s her job to assess you. Good luck.

Wasted away again in Coronaville
Looking for my lost shaker of hope

I've always thought "Personal Physician" was an oxymoron, but here in Coronaville, trying to tell a doctor from an unlicensed germaphobe hits my senses like trying to find a smile in a mannequin factory.

Gentle empathy, Giddy. Breathing with you. . . Deep, cleansing breaths. . .

I would wait at least 24 hours and see how you feel. If you still feel the same after that call your doctor.

When my jaw and cheek went sore, I was very worried and thought about bone infections and a trip to the ER. Turns out it was just tension in my neck and shoulders. A personal massage and hot pack solved my concerns, "Cheers"

I would guess that the breathlessness and sore jaw/mouth are signs of anxiety and tenseness. These are trying times for everyone, and signs of stress are sure to come up. That being said, please keep an eye on the breathlessness! If it doesn't go away after taking some relaxing time, contact your doctor -- like others have stated, doctors are here to help you. You wouldn't be the first to call with concerns and it's better to be safe! Take care!

I too have felt these same symptoms. It adds to the anxiety when experiencing it. I did meditations to ease the pain, heat pads, massage wand, lots of exercise and trying to keep my mind on something else. It took a few weeks to go away. Currently i am having mild symptoms. I was convinced it was something else. Unbelievable how many physical symptoms come from anxiety. My mantra... this too shall pass.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!
