Is this anxiety??

I am freaking out badly.
I suddenly developed nerve issues this week. I get pins and needles in my fingers and toes on and off. I get itchy all over my body in random spots. From my head to my feet. But it's a nerve itch/tingle. I get abit of burning on and off in my feet. I went to a physio and i still have strength etc so she thinks its all just from anxiety. My anxiety has been the absolute roof and this made it worse. I am in constant dread this is the start of something worse. I cannot calm down. I'm seeing My regular doctor tomorrow. I have bipolar and also anxiety issues. But ive never had physical symptoms to this extent. Could this just all be from anxiety?

Sounds a little simplistic but consider massaging areas where you're experiencing sensations. Flex the fingers and toes rapidly and continuously until the pins and needles sensation begins to die down. Also try giving some slow relaxing stretches a go. As I say, a little simplistic, but I've known this to help people who experience such feelings on occasion.

You're noticing the incredible sensitivity of your body. Continue to be sensitive or aware of any positive or calming sensations as things begin to hopefully change for the better.
