hi everybody, I suffer with health anxiety and social anxiety, so I don't go out much. But today I'm having a really bad day. I've got pins and needles in my cheekbones my muscles in the back of my neck really stiff. I feel very lightheaded and dizzy and feel very weak. I was okay yesterday. Well, not right, but having a good day as we call them. But today it hit me like a brick wall again. Just thought I would share this with everyone. I hope everyone is having a better day than me and keep strong people. By the way I don't take any medication for it to be honest with you. I'm too frightened to go and see a doctor. Plus I'm frightened going out bloody anxiety, never mind I will try to work through its. Take care everybody
Hi Shaun, all your symptoms are anxiety related, if your happy not to see a GP fir meds then great but perhaps CBT may help. Neil
Hi Shaun you are having a bad day l personally think you should go and get therapy for your anxiety as staying in the house is not a great way to live.l don't think you should take medication however therapy would help you manage your anxiety and help you push through your fears.Think about it.
Hi Shaun, So sorry you are suffering. Take some deep breaths and know you will get better. Take Care.
I know how you feel. Hang in there and push your way through. Feel better soon.
Thank you neil

Hi shaun,
I have the same sensation on my cheeks too. Sometimes they feel heavy and saggy other times i feel like a hamster when they shove pellets in their mouth and sometimes numbness and tingling. Its all Anxiety, my dr told me the reason that happens its because im not breathing enough and not getting enough oxygen. So relax and take deep breaths, slow and calm. Massage your face and just learn to live with it. For me it comes and goes. Its scary but once you know its anxiety its easier to deal with. Best of luck, we are all in this together, youre not alone !
