Anxiety/panic disorder and pain/Cathie

[Guest guest]

Hey Cathie,

So glad to see your post. I've been dealing with massive amounts of anxiety

over the past 3 days. Normally it's a once in awhile thing, but lately, BAM!

Perhaps its' because the weather recently changed and has really affected my

mood and my pain.

Today was one of those days where I pushed myself to do the things that HAD to

be done and even though I cut way back on activity, tonight I'm paying for not

listening to my body. For me, it's a viscious cycle: Anxiety makes the pain

worse, and the pain-anxiety combo make the sleep worse which makes the pain and

anxiety worse.
