I read this article with great interest. I have been there! It is amazing what stress and mental anxiety can do to the body.

I have been there, done this and it wasn't pretty. I was tired all the time, my memory still isn't great about some things. There were mood swings. I thought about eating all the time...whether to do it or not!  The thing that bothered me the most was the bursts of uncontrollable anger. At my spouse and my children mostly. 

When I went for my annual check up, I told my doctor about it. She prescribed Prozac for me and it made such a difference! I still take a low level dose. I tried stopping, but the anger came back (we seem to live a life of constant stress around here) so I am thankful for the modern chemisty that helps me to keep an even keel and my family is happy too!
