Health Anxiety hit new peak anyone help

[Jessica Okane]

I'm 21 and I've definitely always been an anxious person and a little OCD with routine and schedules and with my children's sleeping habits etc. But lately I'm in a panic all day I'll have a couple of good days and then maybe 1 terrible day and 1 bad day, where i can't breathe I feel something is in my throat, and tonight I started to get shocks when I try to fall asleep and twitching of my body and my brain won't let me sleep and it's really terrifying anyone feel this way. Don't scare me more with medical fears my mind can't take anymore medical conditions I may have

I have experienced both the throat and muscle twitching feeling. They are both caused by anxiety, so there is no need to worry much. But what do you mean by "shocks"? Do you mean hot and cold flashes... Or something like that/
Always remember that anxiety is just a feeling. And feeling like something is wrong doesn't mean that something is necessarily wrong. I know it's hard but reminding yourself of this makes it better, at least for me.

Hiya Jessica, welcome to the forum. It sounds like you suffer from anxieties and this is why you are having twitches. I get them too, and in bed sometimes my body moves by itself. It is because you are finally relaxing and your body is just letting go. Try using some lavender oil on your pillow or drinking some chamomile tea before you go to sleep. Meditation may help you to calm down as well.

Oh sweetie your a mom. Your stressed and you got alot on you. I recommend that you go to your doctor and get an anxiety medication to take at night. Like hydroxyzine hcl. You need sleep . And you need to carve out time for yourself. Get a babysitter and take a bubble bath,get a message do what makes you happy. Think of you for a day. You need this . If you dont....you may face a nervous breakdown. Your life is your children and that's great but, you need to do something for yourself every once in awhile. Don't feel guilty. And another reason to do this is because your children know and can sense it when your frazzled so in a way.... by doing for yourself every once in awhile. ..you do good for them too. Please take my advice. Welcome to the the forum. We will always be here for you.
