i stress

Human body

Amongst the many intriguing and mysterious things human being has been trying to unravel, probably the human body is the most experimented and sought after secrets.

My body and its reactions surprise me. A discovery I made a about 5-6 years back.
At 25-26 years of age I started getting pimples. All through my teenage and early 20s there was not a single sign of them. The so called puberty years.
I had other related gyanec issues that started to crop up, and the tests in general were normal. ( I was not sexually involved)
I wouldn’t understand what the issue possibly was.

Then in some of my consultations the Doc asked if I was going through stress or had tensions of any sort.
I surely did. And there it was apparently the reason. I was constantly asked to relax and have a happier thought process.
I was so amazed for a long time to think this as the reason for my gynec issues !!!!
I mean we commonly know stress to cause heart attacks, BP, headaches, etc. But gynec problems !!!!

Over the years the stress hasn’t gone down, increased if at all. And so has my gynec problems.

As I write things are worse emotionally, personally, and hence physically.
Now for the past 2 weeks I have an upset stomach. I have been feeling very dizzy and sleepy and very weak for atleast the last 3-4 days. Have been consuming home food most of my meals, and pretty light, less spicy / oily food.
I have changed cities, but then I am a traveler so that couldn’t possibly be the reason.
So I thought of checking the internet for some inputs. And guess what I found amongst the top reasons: STRESS, emotional upset or anxiety !!!
I don’t know about other folks out there, but I surely didn’t think my stress would hit my stomach !!
So I have a stronger heart, weaker stomach, weaker hair follicles and how about my immune system ????

In all through my stress (~8 years), I havent lost weight (don’t really eat junk as such), some loss of appetite recently, lost 1/3rd of my thick mane, worsened gynec problems, fairly good immune system I’d say ( rarely fall sick, rare virals / cold-cough, etc), dark circles, @ 32 I look much younger when I am in a  good mood or slightly dressed up (no makeup), infact untill 2 years back looked almost 26/27 @30ish. I don’t know, what more !!!

Anyways the point down of all this, Stress can affect you in anyway. There might be so many more ways it causes damage. Its like slow poison, and really does kill slowly to people who are relatively “ people of strength” and can sustain life’s toil more than a few others.
Damn, I hate being this. It’d be so much easier to be born low in strength and just die with one shock in life. I mean who wants to live like this !!!
I hate the lecture people give about being strong. Trust me, it does no good. I’d rather have been born weak.
I know most optimists will not agree with this philosophy. But I come to say this after long.
Life’s not worth struggling for it. Either have a happy one or none.
