Your brain is doing this because it is over anxious.what has happened is that fear and anxiety have taken over. That has to be turned around so you have peace of mind. you are in a mode of negative thinking which is very scary and unhealthy I was like that for many years and finally I decided I had to do something about it.
that crackle you here in your ear when you open your jaw is very common and nothing serious. It's just a clicking in the joint of the jaw. Millions of people have that. sometimes stress causes it because people tighten their facial muscles when they're anxious. Actually I've had that for a long long time. Some people get it and others don't.
Believe it or not I've also had a little bump on my gum. Those are also common and usually go away on their own. Sometimes when we get a virus can cause those. Keep in mind that everybody gets little aches and pains and bumps and crackles etc. 99.9% nothing serious.
you are not doomed! You are probably very young. You have a very long life ahead of you.
something that really calms me down are the excellent YouTube meditations for anxiety, negative thinking, etc.
they teach you how to separate negativity from yourself. There are so many to choose from!
for example one of them is called "train your mind and body to relax, sleep, relieve anxiety". Put in some earbuds, lay down and listen.
YouTube also has some excellent positive self affirmations. I play them while I'm walking or driving. The more your subconscious hears these the more it believes them to be true.
I do these a couple times a day and my anxiety symptoms go away or greatly diminish. You see, all anxiety begins in the brain, so if you colm down the brain you will calm down your anxiety .
do not react with anxiety when you have a negative thought! It will only get worse. When you get a negative or anxious thought Don't try to fight it off.
what you do is calmly acknowledge the negative or scary thought and then imagine it floating off and dissolving. Do this each and every time and eventually your mind will do it automatically.
some other suggestions would be stay active because that gives you less time to sit around and worry about every little ache and pain. The worst thing you can do is sit and think all day long because that's when the negativity kicks in.
do things you enjoy., Take a walk in nature, do things for other people, get some regular exercise and eat healthy.
I have not done hypnotherapy but I have spoken to counselors who specializes in anxiety. It really helped me a lot to vent to somebody else. I would highly advise speaking with a counselor even if you do the hypnotherapy. They can help you get to the bottom of why you're anxious in the first place. And give you the tools to manage it.
be good to yourself and try not to take life too seriously. Remember to smile and laugh which has been proven to make positive changes in the brain!
I really feel as though you are most likely a very healthy person who just needs to learn how to manage the negative thoughts and fears. If you can get a book called Mindfulness, it teaches you all of this and how to regain your peace of mind. It's a white cover book with a ball of string on the front cover.
Never give up and do whatever it takes to calm down your mind and body.
You can do this!
for example I noticed when I open my jaw it makes a crackle in my ear and now I can't stop obsessing over and worrying il notice it forever
