  Could you talk about what happens to a woman’s body after she has a baby? Like how long it takes for your body to go back to normal? It would be cool to see over time what your body goes through over time after a baby

  How bad is stress?<br>I&apos;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. <br>I thought succubing to stress was for the weak and I just needed to move on as I&apos;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.<br>Now my family has more to worry and stress about taking care of me because I cannot take care of myself.<br>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&apos;s a primal survival message from our body.

  I also think it&apos;s important to remember that you don&apos;t have to have a family, bills, debt and a shitty job to be stressed out. Stress impacts everybody differently but your body only knows if you are stressed. It doesn&apos;t care what is making you stressed.

  When I was &nbsp;23 I scored 8 out of the top ten stressors. Taken aback at my answer to &quot;where does the shoe pinch&quot; , my new Shrink asked if he could make me &nbsp;a case study, and months later told me he didnt know how id survived. ( stressors included moms death, &nbsp;divorce, &nbsp;moving, death of a child, job loss, a life threatening illness, possible 30 year &nbsp;incarceration etc etc. All in a 9 month period. &nbsp;50 years on &nbsp;my being terminally ill doesn&apos;t even &nbsp;faze me. With the right tools, and &nbsp;a great shrink, mines &nbsp;named was Dr. Head (oh the irony) , you can survive anything

  I love the emphasis on how seeing a “GOOD” therapist can help with stress. Seeing a bad therapist would most likely have the opposite effect on your mental health

  Can you do a video on &quot;How depression and stress affects the brain?&quot; Do brain cells really die with because of prolonged stress? And what damages it does emotionally and physically?

  I just had to have an MRI on my brain because all my stress.😩 . Memory loss, auto immune disorder, speech issues. Crazy how stress can cause these things.

  Seriously the amount of stress you endure throughout you life will determine if you get Alzheimer’s. You can develop it even in your 30s. Take care of yourselves

  Stress caused me to go into burn-out. Never actually recovered from it. My memory is not that great anymore and I am in my 30s. I have a concentration span of that from a young child. I had bad skin, always suffered from break outs. I lost a lot of my hair. I used to have long, luscious hair. And don&apos;t get me started on all the permenant body aches I have today.

  As someone who has lived with General anxiety and panic attacks, thank you so much for going over this. Almost every medical issue I had was eventually traced back to stress and anxiety which had been left unaddressed for years. Informing everyone helps them advocate for the help they need, since some might not put all the different effects together.

  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.<br>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.<br>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!
