Taken aback at my answer to "where does the shoe pinch" , my new Shrink asked if he could make me a case study, and months later told me he didnt know how id survived. ( stressors included moms death, divorce, moving, death of a child, job loss, a life threatening illness, possible 30 year incarceration etc etc. All in a 9 month period. 50 years on my being terminally ill doesn't even faze me. With the right tools, and a great shrink, mines named was Dr. Head (oh the irony) , you can survive anything

    How bad is stress?
    I'm 43 and had 3 strokes one of which was massive and paralyzed half my body. I refused to listen to everyone including my doctors who tried to warn me I was completely, totally, utterly over stressing myself.
    I thought succubing to stress was for the weak and I just needed to move on as I'm from a military family and stress never killed anyone but inaction did. I was completely wrong and I live every single nanosecond wishing I could go back and some sense into my kick my own ass.
    Now my family has more to worry and stress about taking care of me because I cannot take care of myself.
    Never try to shoulder all the burden yourself. Sometimes you do literally need to deplug and disconnect from everything to stay alive and healthy. This is not a weakness, it's a primal survival message from our body.

    Something that you didn't mention is how to get yourself out of fight or flight. Breathing, through the nose, in and out and slowing down the exhale. You want to make the exhale longer than the inhale. Also, you must use your diaphragm and the best way to do that is to lie down on your back and relax. You can feel better in just a few minutes when you do this. Anytime during the day that you employ this breathing technique will help you tremendously.

    After my wife passed away I was warned not to make any big life-changing decisions for four months afterwards. I broke that rule when I decided to retire two months after my wife died. Shortly after I retired my _mom_ passed away; and in between I lost three of my wife's siblings, with whom I was close for years. The impact it's had on my body after watching this video was predictable; my blood pressure has shot up and still not 100% under control, I've gained about 20 lbs, all in my belly, and the alarm at all these deleterious impacts has heightened my stressors. Oh well....lesson learned. Now, to fix it....

      Knowing how much a person I know with claustrophobia dreads small spaces without windows and especially elevators I can't even imagine what it must be like trying to function with something like that. At least elevators if they are truly needed won't take very long and usually there are stairs as an alternative, with agoraphobia it's practically impossible to "just avoid open spaces" assuming that's the trigger while still doing normal things most people want to do. Seems like it could quickly lead to a tendency to isolate yourself and not go to many places.

    I have ulcerative colitis and was diagnosed with PTSD shortly after my weight and health began to stabilize. It’s really interesting seeing the connection between my emotions and my immune response. My nervous system was really impacted too (tremors, weak voice) but now that I’m nourished and away from stress my body is getting back to normal again. A ton of the symptoms I thought were because of my UC were actually due to the stress response, like weak muscles and trembling. I mean it kind of sucks but it gave me a deeper appreciation of how complex the human body is.

    I really believe that chronic stress can be mentally (obviously) damaging but also physiologically damaging . I was trying to finish my degree(in Psychology!!) and now recognise that I was suffering chronic, severe stress( which used to be known as suffering a”nervous breakdown “)After weeks of early morning vomiting,everyday, I managed to talk a doctor into prescribing benzodiazepines for the last couple of months before I graduated. It would have been far better for me to speak to a therapist, which years later I did.
    Unfortunately I was diagnosed with MS five years after years of chronic stress, and although I am aware that there are many factors which are probably responsible for the disease, however I am amazed at the high number of people with MS who report a long period or even lifetime chronic stress which occurred 5 or more years before their first noticeable symptoms of the disease.
    Chronic stress is a killer but it can also result in chronic disease , so please don’t be like me all those years ago and seek help early when stress becomes chronic or overwhelming!

    I’m so grateful to have found this video. It’s nice to see someone explain it in a way that people can understand. I’ve been in medicine for 25 years and I know that chronic stress can do a lot of damage, but until it happened to me personally I didn’t think much of it. After being in an emotionally abusive relationship and leaving, I found out just how much damage it can do. I began to have extreme fatigue, weakness, brain fog, myalgias and more. When I first presented with symptoms I was told it sounded like long covid, but I have never had covid. My labs revealed a positive ANA, elevated titer, elevated WBC, elevated lipids and a lot of others abnormal. I’ve seen rheumatology, endocrinology, cardiology and immunology. I was diagnosed with broken heart syndrome, a parathyroid adenoma and thyroid nodules. No autoimmune disorder was diagnosed, but I still have a positive ANA and elevated WBC. Chronic inflammation due to stress is all they can come up with. I lost 50 pounds. I couldn’t eat or drink and now my eGFR went from 81 to 57! I sought therapy and tried medication, but no meds worked. I went from being extremely healthy. I was a runner and felt great everyday and now I struggle to get through my day somedays. I’m slowly getting myself back, but it’s been a long process. I share this so that maybe it will help someone else who is under chronic stress. Do whatever you can to relieve the stress. I promise you the stress isn’t worth the problems it causes and the reality is most of what we stress about isn’t anything we can control anyway. Take care of yourselves, my friends. You’ll be thankful you did.

      Well put. I’ve been suffering from debilitating anxiety leading to GI distress for going on 20 years now with no relief, and it has/is destroying my life. The amount of catastrophic shifts that have occurred psychologically and physiologically have been crushing. I was a very active athlete and weight lifter and had a bright future. I am now a shell of a man that I used to be and suffer profoundly with basic day to day tasks. My whole existence is symptom management. I am incapable of experiencing any other mental or physical processes due to my over abundance of stress. I’ve been to a plethora of medical practitioners including the coveted Mayo in Rochester and not a single lab, work-up, invasive examination or psychological review has resulted in any “notable” abnormalities, so I’ve been “diagnosed” with IBS, anxiety, and central sensitization. I’ve been through a rainbow of meds and sadly the only thing that has any favorable impact is clonazepam. Because of the abusive nature of this controlled substance by addicts and others, the medical community is scared to continue this methodology of mono therapy with benzo’s , so they try to force you on other meds or adjuncts. All of which have been a complete nightmare for me. Thanks for your story. Sadly but great-fully it’s reassuring to see my suffering isn’t segregated. Hope is powerful.

I couldn’t function AT ALL!! Luckily I made it through that phase and am mostly in a better place mentally and working on getting to a better place physically. But that really had some lasting effects…
    I think prolonged stress all my life due to some trauma and anxiety/panic disorders probably contributed a lot to the physical health situation I have. I gained a lot of weight in a short time no matter what I ate and had really bad insulin insensitivity so my body was basically borderline diabetic, and a lot of my hormones were out of whack to the point of being dangerous. Luckily I’m working with an awesome doc to fix that situation and I’ve made good progress.

    Thank you so much for discussing the issues with chronic stress! Unfortunately, I dealt with it for about a year and a half due to issues at work. I was tense 24/7 & was not my normal self. I was on anxiety meds, but they weren't helping much because I couldn't get out of the situation. I had problems losing weight & just kept putting on the extra pounds. Things did come to an end when I was let go. At first, I hated this reality but soon realized that it was for the best. Even though I'm currently looking for a new job, I feel less tense than I have been during the 18 months of my poor work environment. I know things will work out, & that I'll land a job when the time is right. Until then, I'm trying to live a relatively stress-free life.

      @@theanatomylab I recently lost my Mum (late November on her B-Day 2021) to the Horrific "Side Effects" of Dementia/Alzeimeirs after leaving my Career and Personal Relationships to move back closer to my Parents to help my Dad Care for her for the last five years. Thank God she Never "Forgot Us", but her Physical, Mental and Verbal Decline was So Traumatizing, I'm Not sure if We'll Ever Recover....As a Result, I started, and Continue to suffer from things like; Fits of Crying, Appetite Loss, Social Isolation Depression etc. In May 2022 I woke up with Sudden, Unbelievable Stomach Pain....I didn't want to see another inside of a Hospital so I thought I would just "Tough It Out" Whatever was Happening.....My Dad saw me Hours later doubled over in Pain and He called an Ambulance...Turns Out, I was Critcally ill and Didn't know it! Apparently, over this Stressful Time, I had Developed 2 large ulcers in my stomach which ended up eating a hole in the stomach lining. So my stomach was perforated, and the Toxic, Acidic, Stomach Bile was rapidly entering the intestinal system, abdominal cavity, and surrounding Organs, Tissue etc. Causing Damage and that's the pain I was feeling. Particularly when I laid on my back it was unbearable As that's where the hole was at the top of my stomach and lying backwards would just empty out the bile faster into my Abdominal cavity which also caused a massive infection called H-Pylori. They literally told me in the ER if I had come in 24 hours later I would've been dead. The ulcers were caused by the stress I was dealing with I know alot of ulcers are caused by medications or other issues but all that was ruled out and given what I had been dealing with that was the obvious answer. I ended up having to have emergency surgery that night and was in the hospital for 3 weeks afterwards having the bile removed through tubes in my nose and the surgery patched the hole in my stomach, but I couldn't eat for 2 weeks because they had to remove all the bile and make sure the patch stuck. So they tried to insert what they call a PIC line into my arm to try and get my Body some direct nutrition as I was rapidly losing alot of weight I'm very tall and a healthy weight for me is approximately 150 to 170 pounds I went down to a 100 pounds in the hospital and I've been out of the hospital for Like a month now and I have gained some weight back I'm up to 130, but I still have issues with eating food and digesting and they say my Systwm may take a whole year to feel better and recover. Can you help me understand if the initial Catharsis of this issue came from hormones due to Stress released in the brain that affected my gastrointestinal trac Per your video? If Not, where did it Originate from? My apologies for the long message!

      @@KirstiStephenson I will type up the Google response to my question for you "How does stress affect stomach acid secretions."
      "The stress response of the body results in the decrease of gastric renewal, leading to atrophy of the gastric mucosa. Blood flow to the stomach decreases and makes the stomach more prone to acid-pepsin ulceration and hyperacid secretion"
      Hope this is helpful, meaning less gastric mucosa which lowers the pH of the acid and helps clean the stomach. The higher acidity will cause perforation and could be fatal in a short time.
