Discussion Does anyone else shaking all day?

[KiraLittleOwl]

It is so unpleasant, my whole body is shaking and tense, it doesn't stop.
I am so tired of it. benzodiazepines help only for a couple of hours if they even help.

I get the shakes and sweat when I'm really anxious or exhausted. It's not very often, but It can be pretty painful. Why do you experience it?

 

[TearyEyedQueen]

Yes, especially when I'm crying which I do a lot. Maybe it's that or something else I don't know. But it's horrible. I just want everything to end.

 

[LMLN]

Yes. I do feel shaky most of the day. I take an AD which helps with the depression. But I think it makes me shaky and anxious.
I'm sorry you are feeling this.

Yes, I agree, it's horrible, I can't relax. It is called psychogenic tremor I believe.
And my muscles hurt from tenseness.

Yes. I've been like this my whole life. It started when I was really young and got worse with every passing year. At first it was just my hands shaking when I was too tense or uncomfortable, but in the last few years it's gotten so bad that when I'm in bed waiting for sleep to come I can feel my whole body vibrating, it's like some sort of low growling sound never really leaving. I'm tense 24/24. Benzos don't really help anymore since I've been taking them for years. The only thing that used to help was a lot of sport, running, boxing, anything that was draining my body.

[LMLN]

Me too. I'm wound up all day. It's like I want to run from my thoughts but there's nowhere to run.

Our lizard brain didn't evolve to worry about past and future, it supposed to be alarmed in the face of imminent danger.
Now it is s acting like a broken switch.
