Stress Hides

I didn't realize my health was deteriorating for a long time, at least longer than I had projected. I thought it started honestly two years ago, but now that I think about it this process has been taking place for well over eight years. A combination of stress from all walks of life deteriorating my health. I lived with it because it wasn't so bad, small issues that will pass, I thought. I'll give you an example, my teeth became weak in 2018. I remember my tooth chipped out of nowhere. Like it was soft. My first patch of eczema came in 2018. I ignored it because it would pass, I didn't even realize it was eczema. Because there was just one spot and it wouldn’t be a big deal down the line. Fast forward to 2021 and I had a full-blown eczema attack. My gut issues got worse! I only realized it was stress when it was too late. For the longest time, I thought I was not eating healthy enough. Sadly, realizing that my whole life I've had to entertain toxic people, situations, friends, and family. I carried it so well and I did not realize how it would affect me. No one is strong, stress will get to you. Like wtf, I'm really mad. Because I do not deserve this. Hopefully, I heal and move on from this. Maybe now that I am aware of it, the process can really begin.
