Why do we get so sore and tense?!

Why do we get so tense and sore in our muscles from anxiety and depression.... Some mornings I wake up so sore and stiff I'm like what the hell!!!

Then you worry about the pain from the soreness and depending where in the body it is you then automatically think its from that particular organ!!!

Does my head in! Anyone else?

Yes I have PTSD and find I never really relax my muscles. It is so painful at times. Depression just adds to the feeling of pain and achy bones as well.I am working hard at relaxation meditations to help me let go ,it affects my sleep as well, so I find that it is staring to help .:)

It's just amazing how site you can get from it.... Is there some sore of chemical thing going on with ate muscles? I know adrenalin etc can affect it all but yeah just wondered what else can cause it chemically? Possible tension etc also I guess can flare things up..
