Yes. For some reason earlier this year I began feeling stress unlike ever before. I basically turned into a hypochondriac and my stomach was always in knots, I started getting bits of muscle fasciculations. It fricking sucked. I finally realized I wasn't dying, life wasn't as bad as it seemed at the moment, and over the course of a couple months, that all has slowly disappeared.


Did you do anything particular to help?

I've posted on here about it a couple of times but I'm kinda going through the same thing though for no discernible reason which really concerns me.

I have/had no stress at all with work, home, family etc... but have become incredibly anxious (mostly health related) which now seems to be pushing me into some kind of depression.

It's pretty awful and something that I've never had any issues with for the first 34 years of my life. Can't seem to snap out of it though no matter what I do/try.

Low hanging fruit to consider:

any sleep changes (shift work)/circadian disruption
quality of your diet
vit D level
thyroid function
testosterone level (can manifest as depression)
how much do you workout/run (Macho Man may be overtraining, see stress cup above)


see a primary care MD for basic screen/check


See my posts above for other considerations...
