I totally understand what you are going through, it’s exactly how I’ve been feeling for the last months. It’s a horrible feeling, you feel so helpless because the Fibromyalgia takes over your life it controls every move you make. At times you prepare for an event and it happens that the event causes such much anxieties that you wind up not going because your flair ups take over.
It’s so sad because my social life was very active and now I literally have none. The pains are excruciatingly intense. I was diagnosed 7 years ago and I am so depressed, I have pains 24/7. I really need support, I know there is not much we can do but an understanding word would be much appreciated. I pray to God that someday I can say “I don’t have any pain today!!!” Wow that would really make me happy . Love you all! Have a blessed day.

Oh I know that all too well. Anxiety is one of my biggest issues with fibromyalgia. Some days I think I would rather have the pain than the anxiety. It really wreaks havoc on your body, mind and spirit. I have to take meds every so often for bad anxiety days, but I really do feel I need to take something on a regular basis. I am a full blown hypochondriac ever since this fibromyalgia diagnosis. Hoping you can find a therapist and get some relief. Blessings.

Yes I did a few time and first I couldn’t figure out what the heck. I still get in now and then and just kind of let it pass and try not to handle my hair much and washing hair during this type of flair was painful. Hopefully yours is not a daily basis. Pray it will lessen up soon. Love Dee

Have you tried breathing exercises and meditation? Hang in there.

I use CBD oil and find it really helps with my anxiety. It takes about 3 weeks to start working and is quite expensive but definitely it helps me x
