Hi everyone!
I haven’t been here in a bit. I’ve been doing pretty well with my counselor and her techniques. However, I’m an HA sufferer so here I am. I’ve been in and out of the doctors office for my grandmother and believe I was triggered. I’m her ride to appointments and I help her out bc she has Alzheimer’s. So I’m assuming just being around everything triggered me-lots of end of life planning and such so I don’t necessarily have a “health issue” going on for myself, but I believe this is all compiling on me and I’m holding it in. My counselor told me to use the shower to “wash it away” or “pop a conduit” and let it out. I’ve been doing ground exercises, and those are very calming.
I’m struggling with a physical symptom of all of this anxiety. My right shoulder/neck/chest is so tight it’s making it difficult to pick up my almost one year old. The pain originates between my spine and scapula on the right side. The chiropractor adjusted me and said I had a huge muscle knot. I have massaged, used the percussion therapy gun and have minimal relief. I’m assuming calming my anxiety might help it finally unlock. I do Epsom salt baths and biofreeze again some relief but it comes right back the moment my anxiety ramps up. I know this to be true bc it hurt Thursday and then Friday and Saturday I was completely distracted with my sons birthday party (with other vaccinated people) and all the planning- I was fine no issues. Today, I had nothing going on and the anxiousness crept in, boom so did the pain again. Nothing changed I lifted my youngest just as much Friday and Saturday as I do any other day, so I’m coming for tips and tricks to alleviate the muscle tension from anxiety. I almost feel like the tension is causing my anxiety to ramp up. I have the anxiety, I start to feel the pain then the pain continues and I worry, the anxiety increases- vicious cycle.
Sorry I’m wordy. Thank you for your time!
Erin
