tmj is destroying my life.... its all started when my doctor removed my braces he spent 4 hours i know its hard to believe that but i was opening my mouth for 4 hours!!! I remember i told him the next day that i am having a pain on my jaw but he told me there is nothing wrong and just do a warm water and everything will be fine.... anyway after one week i started to have a pain in my ear and i felt some pressure in my face i was suffering for one month and i got ANXIETY DISORDER i was crying fro weeks I thought that maybe there is something wrong with my mind and i didn’t know that i have tmj i went to so many doctors and when ever they check my ear they kept telling me that there is nothing wrong while i was having pain and they said i should go see a ENT doctor to make sure then i booked an appointment for ENT..... also my eyes start to hurt..... anyway i went to my ENT appointment and he checked then he said everything is fine and he said that i have TMJ and it’s probably happened because I opened my mouth for a long time... anyway he suggest to go and see a professional doctor for tmj.... and i did and yeah they confirmed that i really do have tmj ..... but i still suffering from anxiety and its all started because of the pain i used to have 💔💔 i overthink and cry alot... i started a medication with my doctor but my anxiety wont go away💔💔💔 also i got inflamed muscles its hard for me to focus like before and i have so many weird symptoms :(
Dear Pandaz,
Give it time you have had a trauma that has made your anxiety take off.
you will be fine and everything will calm down, when you have these odd thoughts think calm and constructive and do something that will distract you dont overthink things and these feelings will eventually subside Annette xx
