What you’re describing- constant muscle tension, difficulty focusing, and worsening symptoms when trying to control or force bodily functions- can be related to anxiety or somatization. The tendency to over-control muscles and bodily processes is often seen in conditions like Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) or even functional neurological symptoms.
This does not mean something is wrong with your body physically, but rather that your mind and body may be in a chronic state of stress, leading to muscle tension and focus difficulties.
Next Steps
1. Schedule a visit with a psychiatrist for a complete evaluation.
2. Consider consulting a clinical psychologist for therapy, especially CBT or body-oriented techniques (like progressive muscle relaxation or biofeedback).
3. Medication may help if symptoms are disabling, but this needs a proper assessment before prescription.
Health Tips
Avoid trying to force focus or bowel movements. Instead, practice relaxation techniques such as guided breathing, yoga, or mindfulness. If constipation is recurrent, consult a physician to rule out medical causes as well.
