Do you carry stress in your body?

I've been under a lot of stress this past year and have found I carry from head to toe - I think the most obvious is this darn twitch I get in my right eye, it's going crazy the last few days and drives me crazy. Shoulders, neck, back, arms and legs - even my fingers tense up when I'm under stress and I end up with horrid headaches... Still what bugs me most is this eye - there seems to be nothing I can do about it.

I carry stress around with me every day of my life and I know it is truly killing me but there is nothing I can do to change it. I am trying very hard though. I carry alot of my stress in my head, shoulders and my belly area. It makes me feel so miserable and tense all of the time.

wow i liked your topic of discussion. i guess my stress goes to my back. if i am really stressed out, my back pains are really unexplainable. :(

You take after your mom there, because that's where my stress tends to go mostly to my neck and shoulders. I hope that I was able to work it out of your neck and shoulders some this morning, and that the hot rub that I put on it helped too!

Yes.. being to much busy i guess and i have to unwind myself and relax a bit

Amount of Stress you get are getting at work depends on how you approach the solution to your problems occur in the Job... If you have a personal problem and coming to work, for exmple your mother is sick and need you there. You cannot concentrate on work..... In first year of my first job, i had a lot of stress and couldn't sleep at night.... then i realised work is work & life is life... so i'm not getting stress on work and do my best at the given timelines and forget about work after going home.... Try to finish your job in given time and if you have igh work load best thing is to speak to your immediate boss and try to get some delegated to your colleagues....

yes I do! I carry it in the back of my neck/shoulders sometimes into my eye often times the stress will manifest itself in my stomach as well.... it aches my muscles all over too.

i try hard to let my stress go. A year ago it made me very ill and I had to quit work. But I learnt some great relaxation techniques and now the only time that I feel any real physical stress symptoms is when I have been driving long distance. My favourite is deep breathing. Sit comfortably, inhale deeply and whilst you are doing say "one thousand" in your head. Hold for a couple of seconds and then exhale "saying one thousand five hundred". Repeat. Fantastic.
