For me, anxiety was definitely in my upper back and shoulders - the tension, the pain, even. I began to medicate with alcohol, which provided pretty instant relief (and, if consumed throughout the day, kept the worst anxieties at bay).

I don't use alcohol anymore - and lots of therapy has helped lessen some of my anxiety triggers -

I appreciate your story - and learning how anxiety manifests in you. Thank you!
