Was doing really well this week until I woke up this morning with a sore jaw and difficulty opening it all day.
Haven't had a panick attack over it so thats a win!
Obviously Im clenching my jaw during the night. Any feedback on how to loosen the muscle.
Just another anxiety symptom 😕
Stress and tension cause anxiety and we tend to tense up.
Your jaw problem is probably due to tensing your muscles in the night or teeth grinding

While stress is a big factor, it's certainly not the only thing causing teeth grinding. For example: anatomy of jaw, shape of jawbone, position of teeth.
If it is chronic, check with the dentist for evaluation - he may suggest a mouth guard to wear during sleep. A friend said this helped her quite a bit with jaw clenching at night.
try an icepack on the jaw area to heal the muscle area.
