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!!!
