How does your body show stress?

When I'm REALLY stressed, I tend to get migraines a lot. And my eye starts to twitch uncontrollbly. It's not noticeable, but I feel it. And it drives me crazy, which adds to my stress.

Stress does usually show itself in our bodies.

I find I am more prone to colds if I am stressed and sometimes get headaches. I also find it harder to sleep.

Try to have a lovely relaxing massage from your partner after a hot bath, that should help.

Being out of a job would be mega stressful, I feel for you, stress can do many things to a person and you have to be very careful, I hope you find a job soon, I don't know what sort of a job you want or what sort you would like but I have a few friends who have given up other jobs to work in aged care because the money is supposed to be good and they didn't seem to have much trouble getting in there, one of them was given a couple of courses and goes around to elderly people who live alone to check up on them, do their shopping and a bit of cleaning...not sure if you would like that area of work but apparantly there is a need for people.

When I get stressed I get headaches and pain around my neck and my lower back. I am stressed most of the time, and I cant fine anything that really works.I think its time for me to fine a new job also, but the jobs around here are so hard to fine and they dont pay you a lot and there is no insurance. Insurance is something that I need.

My body doesnt deal with stress very good. Ever since my junior year in high school i was diagosed with what they call IBS, or irritable bowl syndrome. Anytime i get stressed out my IBS kicks my stomachs butt and i am usually sick for 2-3 days depending on how stressed out or upset i am. The only medicine that helps this is muscle relaxers. So i usually just deal with it because when i take the medicine it just puts me to sleep. So i can sleep and work at the same time.

Yes it is a lot of stress when we have to worry about financial problems, I don't have them but our youngest daughter is having a lot of these problems at this time, so it affect us here as her parents, we know that this is not really her fault as her ex never paid any of the bills in regards to their mortgage. Yes stress can cause all different kinds of pains in our bodies trying to cope with the stress.

I have recently been through a stressful time and I had weeks of mouth ulcers, tightness in the neck and to top it off a sty in the eye! lol You hear people say "just relax" it will all be fine, tell my body that! Even meditation to try and switch off does not seem to work. In your situation ausnikki financial problems I think are worse as they only go away when all is cleared and that in itself is easier said than done!

Yes stress can show up in our bodies in the most unusual places, I too have reflux and it does play up more when I am stressed. Also my excema plays up and all the aches and pains I have normally are just magnified more, it sucks.
I do hope you get a job and lower your symptoms of stress, so take care and I hope you feel better soon.

I guess you're really feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders! I can totally agree with your position. I just got fired 3 days ago and I feel the same way. The more it soaks in, the worse I feel. Whether its a fever or I'm sleeping more, its always something. It is usually a cold symptom rather than pain. I have always had this problem. About 3 years ago I moved across the state and my whole body went outta whack! Whether it is acne or a headache that just won't quit, etc. I always feel some bodily response to stress in my life. I wonder if there is a way to cope better?

When I am stressed out, I always get really bad headaches. I also become VERY tired, and no matter how much sleep I get, I still feel sleepy. Thankfully, I am not the type of person who worries about things too much (my husband does enough worrying for the both of us).
