"I'm seeing more physical complaints that are closely linked to psychiatric complaints," says Dr. Tony Roberson, a professor at George Washington University and a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, specializing in child and adolescent mental health care."Symptoms could be a lot more severe, a lot more prevalent, and a lot more frequent with stress."
Stress can also cause unconscious behaviors that lead to physical health issues."About six weeks ago, I woke up and my jaw was just in terrible condition," says Swirling,"I realized how much I've been clenching my jaw [in my sleep]." "I clench my teeth, but have tried to make it a habit when I check my phone, to make sure my jaw is in a resting position and open," says Dr. Stephanie Simmonett, a dentist in Foggy Bottom."Especially when checking Twitter."
He also suggests interaction with other people whenever possible and safe."Engaging in human contact, that in of itself is a stress reliever," says Roberson."When you can and it's safe, it's very important to spend time with family and friends."
lilririah wamu885 Okay, but make sure you don't tell your workplace you're stressed. Seriously. EVEN IF THEY ASK.
wamu885 Thank you
wamu885 True!
wamu885 Most people are not. Most people are living their lives pretty much as normal. NPR and the Democrats continue to terrorize people who are weak willed enough to believe them.
wamu885 I have had daily headaches since Memorial Day. The docs say it’s stress. Yoga and cardio don’t help, nor do the meds. I’m getting a mouth guard and medical marijuana. If that doesn’t do it, I’m out of options. As a caregiver for my 89 year old father, I fear bringing covid home.
wamu885 The stress can only get to you if you allow it to. Start a garden, go fishing, dont dwell on the nonsense news and whatever new numbers are out. As non of that matters. Spend time with your family and laugh. Everyone is so wound up without a healthy release. Won't end well.
wamu885 Those of us in healthcare also have skin breakdown and permanent marks on our faces from constantly wearing an N95. Add in the stress of potentially bringing covid home to our families, especially those in high risk categories and the mental and physical effects multiply.
wamu885 NPR: National Propaganda Radio Spreads fear and then doubles down with a story on widespread fear Oh the irony Gaslighting & manipulation. Race baiting & identity policitcs. This is NPR. DefundNPR
wamu885 Yes.
wamu885 Some burning and looting will vent those feelings
wamu885 You know what will fix most of that...exercise! Get off your ass and get out of the house and move. Quit feeing sorry for yourself and claiming victim hood. Get some shit done around the house that you’ve been putting off. Do something except sit around whining.
wamu885 What are you worried about!!
wamu885 Please see a shrink if you are still worried about the China Virus.
wamu885 So true, I cannot sleep all I do is worry.
wamu885 One of the things that can protect us from trauma and stress is feeling like you have a sense of purpose during a traumatic and chaotic time. Having a role can create a sense of safety. We are all going through this together.
wamu885 I would feel a little better if I knew we had a government ran by experts in good faith. Wrong country for that.
wamu885 Yeah crushing the economy over a scamdemic will do that to people.
wamu885 I have 3 of those.
wamu885 Eczema ✋🏽 came in April and I had no idea what it was

wamu885 COVID has turned political like everything else in this country and many of the decisions made are political in nature and not based on facts, many of us are sickened by both political parties.
wamu885 my fur is not nearly as glossy as usual. . . .
wamu885 Maybe if stations like NPR quit pumping out often slanted fear porn 24/7 people would feel better? 🤔

wamu885 We would be able to deal with Covid-19 stress so much better if our gov't weren't in such total disarray. With no clear direction from the top and chaos on all sides, of course we're totally stressed out. Beyond.
wamu885 I have a stressful job, and had all these things before. Now it’s worse.
wamu885 Sounds like a reason to go back to work
