Why did you do it in the first place?

That's the strange thing about anxiety, it's as if your brain wants you to find something you are unsure about so you can worry.

Body checking is very hard to stop

just came across it. I think I was itching my neck and it crunched then thought OMG!! then became obsessed!!

is a burning tongue a symptom of anxiety? mine burns like mad when I get a bit stressed! I can reduce the burning by trying to calm myself down!

I think you just answered your own question there :)

I really can't believe someone else gets that crunch in their neck, i noticed it ages ago and spent a good week worrying about it. I must have forgotton until now:D

love anx xx
