A member asked:
Why do i get the symptoms of stress throughout my body (aka skin breaking out, delayed periods, etc) when i don't actually feel stressed often?

"The shadow knows": Only "the shadow knows" (pituitary gland) the amount and internalization of your stress levels. In other words, you don't feel stressed but the pituitary is reacting to elevated levels. Try stress reduction techniques, such as yoga, exercise, deep breathing or meditation.
