Having a breakdown, scared

Started a year ago with burning muscles and twitching all over. Saw several different GPs, had loads of blood tests, no obvious cause. They have said anxiety and stress. I’ve had therapy to destress.

Recently my temple has begun to twitch and my face is burning like the nerves are inflamed. Twitching and burning is still all over, now my hand is twitching so bad that you can see it. GPs still refusing to refer me to neurology because I don’t meet the criteria, because it’s all over and not in one area, and I have no weakness or other neuro symptoms.

I’m shitting myself thinking I have MND or some other sinister disease. I’m literally having a nervous breakdown. Can anyone talk me down please?

How old are you? Are you on any anti depressants?

  1. Not on antidepressants. My body is messed up enough, I’m scared if I take more meds and get side effects I won’t be able to cope.

Not wanting to take the medication that will make you better is a symptom of anxiety. You need to force yourself to take them.
