Q: Constant movement of eyes and face

Hi everyone! I am new to this forum.

I have had panic and anxiety since my childhood.

I have been experiencing constant eye and face movement. When I close my eyes it is more noticeable. It scares me. This has been going on for about 3 years. I also experience joint pain, migraines, I get the shivers and can't stop chattering my teeth, my skin feels like it is crawling. The symptoms get worse around my monthly cycle.

I have gone to my reg family physician, homeopathic provider, and of course the emergency room countless times.

I am told that I am healthy. Nothing is wrong physically. But I still worry. I feel some form of panic and or symptom everyday. Now I feel depressed.

I am being told that stress and anxiety can cause my constant eye and face movement. I just have never heard of that before. I am not talking about an occasional eye twitch. When I say constant I mean constant.... never ending non stop. Sometimes it is worse then other times. But it is ALWAYS there. That bothers me more then all of my symptoms.

Over the years I have learned how to cope and deal with the rapid heart rate, shortness of breath, chest pain, panic feeling, dizziness, etc. I feel lost and without hope. Because I am dealing with all these newer symptoms.

My family and friends are getting tired of me. I am now separated from my husband. I live in constant fear. I hate it!!! I can't take it! I also think I am a hypochondriac. I feel selfish because I am obsessed with finding something wrong. I went years with this under control.... what happened?!

I also hate when people are mad at me. I feel the constant need to please others and say I am sorry.

I want to say sorry for posting this and bothering people. I am really sorry this is so long. I know I have a serious problem!!!

Also
I am getting afraid to eat. I feel like food is another trigger and I read all food labels. I will even read the back of a water bottle. I stay away from aspartame, sugar, caffeine, msg, preservatives, wheat, gluten, fast food, dairy and meat. I think that is good but My fear of food is getting very intense. I almost don't want to eat at all. I do take whole food supplements. I have lost 25 pounds in less then a month. I am pale and have dark circles under my eyes. Could this be a nervous break down?
