Everyone knows the amount of emotional distress Anxiety Disorder can cause. It’s enough to bring anyone to tears. It’s enough to cause the strongest of people to just breakdown. I’ve been seen it bring complete defeat.
All of the emotional effects aside, anxiety can play a huge physical toll on your body.
Exhaustion
Every panic/anxiety attack sucks every fiber of energy out of your body. It can lead to not being able to leave the bed for the rest of the day. Your body and your mind can barely function sometimes.
Muscle aches
During an attack, every muscle in your body is tensed up. Spasms aren’t uncommon, either. Later, when your mind has relaxed, your body still feels like it’s been hit by a bus.
Headaches
When there’s a constant battle inside your brain, it’s bound to cause a headache. Even if just gr8 the sheer stress alone.
There are also several that may not effect everyone, but do effect some. For example: stomach ulcers, migraines, nausea, uncontrollable twitching, irregular heartbeat, seizures, and even suicide. Yes. Even suicide. I’ve seen this disease bring down those who tried to be strong for so long.
If you’re struggling, and feel like you’ve been strong for too long, please talk to someone. Get help.
