Sometimes there is hardship in our life. Sometimes tragedy happens. Sometimes we feel anxious and worried. Under this circumstance, you must be struggling and enduring it.

  • No control of anxiety at all
  • The anxiety keeps morphing from one body part to another

  • I keep the anxiety in control in my neck
  • I keep the anxiety in control in my jaw
  • I keep the anxiety in control on my face
  • I keep the anxiety in control in my lower part of head
  • I keep the anxiety in control in my upper part of head
  • I keep the anxiety in my stomach
  • I use other body part (not listed here) to control the anxiety

It is always good to share your concerns with your immediate relatives or friends. Anxiety create depression and better make things clear instead of holding it.

You can also share them with the ones you trust.

I loose my ability to eat if I’m upset of anxious. I also get stomach cramps when I’m getting anxious.

For me… anxiety triggers panic… that triggers other symptoms to come out and play.

I’ve been lucky that I have some family to talk to and some ways to over come it.

If I’m alone, I sit in a dark and quiet part of the house, or I take a bath with dim light and work on getting that nervous energy off me.

all of my tension is in between my shoulders. they’re hard as rocks most of the time.

7

For the most part I’m the opposite. The only time I struggled to eat with anxiety was if I’d had a falling out with my wife.

8

I use breathing to control my anxiety. I voted in my chest. But if it gets out of control I use meds.

I clench my jaw and grind my teeth, Which i know is unhealthy but can’t help it; I also apply pressure and sensation in my hands, like hot water or pressure points.

10

i have tension in my lower back and buttocks also i don’t walk properly on my feet and worry about my ankles, i also have tension in my stomach and chest as well as my upper back shoulders and neck, my posture is very bad because of this tension,

i also have tension in my eyes and face but over all it isn’t as bad as it use to be, i think it has improved slightly, i try not to think about it in the hope that it will just sort of normalise so i’m keeping my fingers crossed on that bc i am really worried that these problems will get worse and i will get old before my time if you know what i mean, so i put ‘other’ on the poll.

11

I use my brain or head.
