Am I stressed? It’s so painful.

Below are my symptoms. I really don’t want to go to work tomorrow and teach secondary aged kids. I’m going through a very difficult time in my life. Is this stress?
Easily crying. Snappy. Stomach ache. Feeling stiff and heavy. Aware of my pulse in my neck and lips. Saggy heavy eyes. Constipation. Neck pain on awakening. Sore tongue. Painful shoulders. Tired.
STBEXH called me moronic and an idiot earlier. When I pulled him up on it again this evening, he basically did ‘deny, dismiss, deflect’ instead of apologising. It’s my fault that he insulted me. I told him this abusive behaviour and he laughed.

First thing is to take this list of symptoms to your doctor. No-one on here can (or should) offer a diagnosis.

But you can tell your STBEXH to fuck off for free. And grey rock.

Ditching the loser will probably alleviate most of your stress. In the mean time I would be enjoying the little things. Like putting dog food in his dinner.
