HELP!

[omgizjordanleigh]

I was just recently told I have depression and anxiety, and My whole face goes numb when I start getting scared or thinking to much about it all. I have been getting headaches and a stiff neck as well. Recently, I've calmed down about it but as of yesterday and today randomly my face went all numbing/tingly, and I don't understand why because I wasn't even freaking out!! HELP!! Someone tell me what this could be?! Im so scared!!!

Its anxiety waves.  They will happen even when you think you are calm.

You don't have to be anxious or panicky to have an anxiety or panic attack.  :(

That's all it is though, so don't think it's anything seriously wrong with your body.  (and yes I know it feels like it is something seriously wrong with your body, even if a person you don't even know says it's "just" anxiety).

lol I know what you mean i was laying on my bed one night with my boyfriend and my face started to get numb and tingly feeling scared the **** out of me i thought something was happening well come to find out its anxiety.Well after i knew what it was it didnt scare me as bad but it makes you feel weird my head tingles sometimes.And here lately i have been dealing with really bad headaches im guessing its just the anxiety or the weather.But the numbess and tingling is from anxiety...

Thanks everyone for the advice. It's really scary. the doctors put me on citroplasm or something like that like 2 weeks ago, and it is for my depression& anxiety. It is helping ALOT...Before the meds I was sooooooooo miserable...I could not stand up for myself when people would yell at me, I could not have a conversation because I didnt want to deal with ANYTHING little in life...just wanted to lock myself in my room and be alone....Which is not me, im a very socialable person. BR2509...I get really bad headaches too recently...and my neck gets realllyyyy stiff for a couple of days..! It's really hard, Does this ever go away?? I don't want to be on meds my whole life.
