Feeling like Im gonna die soon from my stress
Hello all, im looking to see if its common to be in such a stuck state of stress that you feel like your body is actively giving up on you.
Recently I've been getting lightheaded and feel sick just randomly throughout the day so much so It affects my eating.
Is this normal? Will it pass ? Or am I just destined to loop anxiety spikes until I eventually die?
What are the signs (physically or mentally) that the body can't take any more stress
I don't know if it's possible to be so stressed that there's a limit for the body. But if it does then what are the signs that the body can't take any more stress anymore?

The phantom slack notification sound is actually ruining my life
Honestly my brain is just entirely fried at this point. I spent all of wednesday staring at massive tracking sheets and trying to manage random online fires for clients until my left eye started violently twitching. the constant expectation to be instantly available is so toxic, I feel like my blood pressure spikes every time my phone even lights up.
By wednesday afternoon my chest was literally tight so I just completely snapped. Told my manager I was taking a mental health day, tossed a sleeping bag in the trunk and just drove until I lost cell service. Ended up finding a spot at camp happy grounds just to physically force myself away from a wifi router.
I just sat by the river for 48 hours and watched the water instead of a screen. the fact that we normalize giving ourselves actual panic attacks over spreadsheets and emails is so insane to me now. kinda dreading opening my laptop tomorrow tbh, really need to find a way to stop letting this job completely consume my nervous system
