It's nothing to do with the disgnosis of it more just the story itself. Walked in and went to reception to explain why i was there, was talking to the receptionist and could of saw she smiled ever so slightly as if she was trying to keep a laugh in, now usually that would of ruined me for the...

Anyone else experience this? When my anxiety is pretty bad the tension in my facial muscles is ridiculous, to the point where it feels like my face is contorting. It also makes it harder to be expressive when i talk etc.

New to the site so apolgies if there has already been a thread on this, but just wondering if anyone suffers with both of these? I was diagnosed with social anxiety a few years ago by a doctor ( albeit not a very good one the therapy he utalised was useless at best) but after more research I...
