The effects of stress can be very significant. I began a very stressful situation back in 2015. By October 29, 2015, I was hospitalized, because I couldn't feel my legs and my body was getting weak. After running lots of tests, a physiatrist said that what I had was stress and depression. My body wasn't having it anymore. Eventually I had to get back up and running, because I have bills to pay. Didn't listen and didn't give myself time to get better. During the last few months I have found myself not knowing how I got to a certain part of my day. I'm talking... sitting at my desk and not knowing how I got there, what day it is, or why there's a person sitting across from me (clients). My manager has urged me to go home, but I'm hard headed and addicted to work. I finally realized how bad it was when just last month I got home on a Friday evening, went to bed, and didn't get up until Monday morning to go to work. My new doctor convinced me I do need to stop being an idiot and actually take the help. I'll be granted time off due to a "serious health condition" thanks to my determined doctor. It's been two fucking years of ignoring my symptoms. Dude. A decade? How the fuck are you standing? Take a break! Take care of yourself. Stress is no joke. It's a serious thing.
