Eye twitch due to stress/screens

Does anyone else get an eye twitch from stress or screens?

I had a period of about 6 months maybe 4 years ago when I was going through a bout of severe anxiety where my left eyelid would regularly twitch, as my anxiety got better it stopped and I had completely forgot about it. I’ve started really suffering from anxiety again, and this time I have (a lovely) toddler so all the things that helped anxiety last time e.g. therapy / exercise / sleep are much harder to find time for. It’s significantly worse on days I work and I can’t work out if this is due to the computer screen or because of being stressed whilst working. Sometimes it can happen several times every minute for hours.

It’s so annoying and I just don’t know how to stop it but it’s sort of self fulfilling right now as it’s caused by stress but causing me more stress.
