Anxiety Disorder or TMS?

I’ve been experiencing severe anxiety for a very long time. I wake up with anxiety and every manifestations of anxiety you can think of (panic attacks, OCD, constant worrying, overreacting to situations) and have anxiety throughout the day. The anxiety I live with is so constant everyday, I’ve been choosing to see this an anxiety disorder thats been brought on by traumatic events. I know my brain doesn’t feel safe and I’ve taught it overr time to feel that way due to the way I’ve reacted to life circumstances and situations. I’ve also been watching Irene Lyon’s videos on nervous system dysregulation, and that resonated greatly with me too. But here’s the thing….the anxiety almost completely goes away at night and is usually replaced by physical symptoms like migraine headaches. This strongly points to it being TMS. I guess what I’m wondering is, should I drop this idea that I have anxiety disorder and treat it like TMS or does it really matter? And this idea of “nervous system dysregulation” seems like another way of saying TMS as well. All seems like semantics and there is a lot of overlapping between these terms. Any thoughts?

My anxiety brought me to full body RSD in the past, which is nothing more than TMS, where fear plays the key role.

Unfortunately, I did it again. I was crazy looking for an explanation for my throat symptoms, that now I'm feeling it all again. I cannot sleep, even with pills, I cannot stay still, and I feel my body burning. What scares me is, or what intensifies the symptoms, is the feeling in my throat. This is going to be a hard battle.

In the past it went away, first I read Sarno, and then I forced my self to shift my attention. It worked almost instantly.

Be careful to all you guys with anxiety. Iv been warned by people in this forum, but I neglected it again.

It's exactly the same thing. You only have to calm yourself down

Yep. Those of us who are anxious can’t let it get out of control. Same thing happened to me. Each time it gets worse so I wish that I had kept meditating like I was 20 years ago. But… We know the way out, so let’s just do it.
