So tightly wound.

[Blossom23]

my entire body has felt so stiff and like constant feeling a Charlie horse coming on. Last night I went to bed with a cramping sharp pain under left armpit my husband is like be rational did you lay funny and it’s a cramp. Your whole body is tense I’m like it hurts in chest he goes well you’ve had very bad gas pains and anxiety causes chest pressure. With mid back pain he says honey mine hurts to our mattress needs spun. I wish I could think like that and let go
This is one whole month of feeling tense and pain. I wish they would do every test possible and be at peace but would we be at peace!! Sometimes I wish I could just go about life with no worry or concern about aches pains and health. Just be ignorantly blissed. Wish there was a magic pill or God would just bam it’s gone. My husband has arthritis and terrible pains why do I complain I know that this is a process and is going to be slow. But the constant stiffness and aches have only been last two months. Is it worse cause we fixate on it(?).
Sorry to rant just with we all could wake up one day and feel 100 and like ourselves.
blessings.
katie.

If the body is so tense all day long and finally you go to bed, there will be some pain. Imagine a cat standing on paws, fur in the air. That is a person with anxiety. Expecting something bad to happen. We tend to suck in our breath and forget to breathe in the correct way. Like we hold ourselves like that all day long. Just in case something happens. Which it never does. That is why you are all stiff and sore. As a rule a person is not meant to be like that all day long. All about learning how to relax. How to release some tension. Then we have to learn to train the mind to not see danger everywhere we go. That is what is happening. The mind and body are on guard. To protect you. From a danger that is not really there. Just the anxious mind senses danger in everything. Therapy will help you to understand all of this much better. It will take time.
