Anxiety jaw spasms

I need to find better ways of dealing with my anxiety. I'm anxious all the time and very little actually helps me with it. I've tried medication, I've tried talking therapy and it's like its all in vain. Nothing seems to work it's like my anxiety is immortal or something.

I get the stomach pain, tiredness, headaches and poor sleep. All that I can deal with but in the last year I've started getting jaw spasms, they start up randomly, ache and just spasm. This I struggle with. Part of me is worried my jaw will dislocate and another part just finds this so irritating and it's led to me becoming a mute so I don't have to talk as much.

Ugh why can't life just be simple?

I did call the doctors on Friday and need broached the subject of my anxiety and how it's affecting me and the receptionist was so unhelpful. "You can do a lot yourself for anxiety like colouring. The doctors are very busy at the moment..."

Translation, go away.

  • Jaw spams can be caused by anxiety because your up and down teeth press so hard it dislocates your jaw. A dentist recommended I use cotton between my teeth for 20 minutes every day, try that or be more aware of how hard you press your teeth.

    I know I will regret suggesting this: have you considered something in your ears? Like music or even having the sensation of sound closed around you relaxes me. One sensation calms another.
