In a very big way. I am constantly tired but sleep never feels restful. My whole body feels like it's made of concrete when my anxiety is especially bad and every little task becomes a chore. When I'm going through a long bad stretch, I get terrible tension headaches daily because of the neck tension.

Yeah, I get horrible lower back and hip tension when I'm anxious/stressed. Same with my neck. I always sleep worse when I'm going through an anxious period, and I can feel the muscle tension building.

Yes, 100%. When my anxiety is high, I get headaches, tension, and even stomach issues. How do you deal with it? When I start feeling it physically, I pause, hydrate, stretch, and do a body scan.

When I feel very anxious I'll just be out of sorts, and there is a physical component to it. I'll feel like I'm always exhausted. And I'll be prone to headaches and just general malaise.

For me in manifests as stomach issues. I've gotten things under control but it used to mess with my sleep and even eating habits. Those have gone away but the stomach pain persists.

My anxiety usually creates some chest pain and slight breathing problems. I tend to feel faint when it happens.

Sometimes. An upset stomach and headaches aren’t uncommon. If I really get anxious I can break out in a cold sweat and my skin gets all red and flush.

Yes! I was so stressed at some point i had serious hair loss!! Had quarter sized bald spots!!!

Yep, anxiety causes physical ailments for me too & disrupts my sleep, which throws off my whole day.

Stress diarrhea. Lol. Maybe TMI, but... never happened until I became an owner. I miss being a server/bartender.
Also, I dk if it counts as physical, but terrible dreams. All my teeth are falling out or the ticket printer is going off like that one episode of The Bear, and then I wake up sweaty.

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
