The older I get, the more variations there are in how my body handles stress. In the last couple of years it's caused 2 bouts of terrible skin irritation that needed steroids to stop & this time I've had a twitchy eyelid for the last 3 weeks 
I was never physically affected by stress before, but nowadays, my system tells me I'm stressed before my brain can acknowledge it!!
Does anyone else get frustrating physical signs of stress? |

"Excuse the brevity, but yes: I succumbed to Alopecia though stress and anxiety. Quite frustrating really. I hope you are ok, OP.  "
Thank you so much, I'll be ok. A job isn't worth feeling rubbish for, but I'm not quite at that point just yet!! Alopecia must have been worrying- Did you quickly realise it was the stress that caused it? |

Yes, it was definitely the stress, which affected my autoimmunity - which in essence started killing off my hair follicles. |

Loss of appetite.
But does make it easier to get into jeans you previously couldn't.
Every cloud.....

Please OP I beg you to take heed. I know income pressures are real but there is NO job worth losing your health over, a thing money can't buy once it's gone too wrong. Prioritise your rest, and look into a position change, or make a fuss at work to improve your situation. Remind yourself that the cost to your body/lifeforce is merely profit for your employers, and if you quit tomorrow they'd replace you in a flash (overcome your feelings of obligation or loyalty). Hopefully your issues may be menopause-related so invest in some downtime now to enjoy vitality in later years x |

I struggle with sleeping and I eat a lot when I’m stressed. Not a major amount more than I would normally eat but I also eat crap instead of decent food

Loss of sleep and appetite, which in turn make me more stressed. And my beard turned from full black to white since I took on a more stressful role (although that might just me getting old) |
