The Manifestation of stress

It's astonishing the effect stress has on our bodies. Mere thoughts bring changes in our breathing, it becomes rapid and shallow. Our hands shake, we tremble all over. If left unchecked it may turn to the stomach, our insides feel as if they are being twisted, roiling to the point of incapacity. The worst though, at least for me, is the headache, sometimes searing, sharp, like needles piercing ones brain, other times, the throbbing ache, all encoming, the pain so great that it obscures the vision, accompanied by fruitless nausea. It is often difficult to control our thoughts, the anger, the fear, runs rampant. I scratch at unseen bugs crawling on me, knowing that there is nothing there. Coffee and aspirin will set things right, preparing me for another day... of endless stress.
