Ive been struggling with extreme anxiety the last month. ive begun having muscle twitches all over my body especially when i try and lay down. can this be related to severe anxiety?

Not feasible to know for sure, but anxiety may be the answer. Recommend getting this handled. Medication could be temporary benefit. More long-term coping may come from psychological intervention, such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and/or Biofeedback therapy.
