Do any of you actually KNOW anxiety and stress has made your health worse? I am 100% sure it has done.
Over the past 6 years of having anxiety and stress I have seen changes in my body, ok i'm only 21 but I get really bad acne these days and when I was 13-14 and the stress was on and off I used to get it occasionally but never as bad as I get it now. I also in the past 3 months or so have developed rashes on my torso which I can't explain. They are rough dry skin rashes which I have never had before.
Also for the past 6 years I have had bad dark circles under my eyes and pale/greasy skin even though I have a bath every day and look after my appearance and skin the best I can.
I also get muscle twitches and have had them for about 2 years, I get them nearly every day without fail. I have really bad fatigue and when I go out I feel confused and I can't concentrate. Lights seem to make my eyes go blurry and not be able to focus. I never had that problem 3 years ago. I also have bad neck pain constantly.
I have had blood tests done at the hospital and they came back as normal, how can that be possible???
Basically I am 100% sure anxiety and stress over a long period of time has done that to me. I notice changes in my body when I get stressed and I would say YES anxiety and stress does harm you, it's not JUST symptoms, it can damage your body in my opinion.
