Dealing with Anxiety and Help
Hey all,
I’m so sorry to be back here posting again. I’ve posted once already before and the last time I did it made me feel a little better.
About roughly in May I had tingling in both legs with what I felt like was perceived weakness. I started the spiral of anxiety and depression, went for an EMG and it came back clean. After the EMG my entire body started twitching like crazy, but I took the news and tried to run with it. But I couldn’t put it past me. Kept thinking about it…
Fast forward to today and the twitching is driving me crazy and now is appearing in my face and what I think my tongue (granted, this is with me staring into a mirror 24/7). And I now feel a “gurgling” sensation after swallowing saliva while laying down. I do not feel it when I stand up, or when I swallow water. I can swallow and chug water comply fine. There is no changes to my voice strength. I scrambled to urgent care and had a doctor check for any muscle wasting and they said they didn’t see any.
So now I’m stuck. Here. Again. Anxiety through the roof. My other EMG was a lot of money and I’ve managed to convince myself that I now need another one…
So I guess, how do you guys deal with anxiety? I’ve been to Therapy and my therapist is a nice lady, but she just asks me questions and I don’t feel as though has been as helpful as I’d hope.
Thanks if you’ve read this far. I’m sorry everyone. This just sucks and idk I just needed to write my thoughts down and post them.
