Anxiety from back pain?

You're programmed to believe anxiety is evil and is bad for you. It's not. It's also not just an emotion. It can be created by your nervous system as a symptom of a medical condition.My back has a couple of anterior bulging discs, and when one gets aggravated from my activities, my levels of anxiety shoot through the roof as that area is irritated.This used to spiral and create massive panic attacks. Now I understand what the sign is telling me, and I address the root of the cause. I love that my body uses this system as a guide to tell me what it needs from me now. That wasn't always the case, but I've come to appreciate it now that I understand why my body is using this method of communicating to me.No excuses!
