Stress and your body...

Not a med thread!!!

So this week in work has been awful.

My boss decided to take an extra 2 days on his holiday (he was due back on Wednesday) and the other member of staff is still on his pre-booked 2 week holiday, so I have been on my own...

2 major system/ web releases to have to test in full and all the associated issues and bugs along with them, plus the normal day to day stuff that I would be expected to handle, has lead me to have very early starts and leaving the office 2-3 hours after I should have left.

Since Wednesday, my upper neck/ lower head has become so painful and sore, so has my shoulders and the top of my back I have never had this before! I guess its the stress etc

Does anyone else have adverse body reactions when you are super stressed? Sweaty pits? Twitchy eyes?

No med threads! go to your GP but yes could be stress.

Lol - I am not asking for help Just asking if anyone else has funny effects if they get uber stressed

Edit: At he Dr's tonight so will ask anyway

Did you sign up for this? is it in your contract?, can you not take a short holiday/break yourself? when all hands are on deck so to speak.

No. No. Yes - have booked Monday off work. Could have tomorrow off cause my boss is back, but I want to see the maiden hit the windmill with him...there a fair few people looking to have 'words'

Probably is too much screen time + stress - but as mentioned in my op, not a med thread, just interested in what happens with others when they are under stress

I say its a combo of both cause this week has been exceptionally bad - see the first post for reasons - and I have never felt this stressed in work ever and I have been working since I was 16...

Its scared me to be honest, but only one more day then weekend + Monday now booked off and only in 3 days next week - plus we are back to a full team as of Monday
