Does anyone else have facial ticks? I seem to have on in my eye and I think its induced by my anxiety. Just wondering if anyone else has this happening to them. Of course its freaking me out. Going to see my therapist on wednesday just wanted to see if anyone else if going thru the same thing.

Thanks,
Candie

i get eye twitches a lot. but then again i think most people in this world do. as people with anxiety we are just more attuned to our body than others, so a small thing such a tick becomes scary. At the same time, i dont know how frequent and severe your tickets are. i

Thank you for your replys. I think it probably could be due to poor sleep. I haven't been sleeping well part of the anxiety issues, and I am also too aware of my body and how I am feeling. I am really trying to work at not freaking out over every feeling I have. Its a hard road. I have currently stopped taking celexa on my doctors orders because it was keeping me up. We are talking about starting me on a new anti-depressant but that causes me alot of anxiety for I have pill phobia's. Any ways thank you its nice to know I am not the only one feeling this way.

Yes, I have them, too, but only when I'm suffering from anxiety or overtired. Tiredness definitely brings it on in me. Ditto on the pill phobia!
