I wonder if stress can makes the eyes stop produce tears?

Keratitis sicca: Yes, stress can induce numerous changes in the physiology and metabolism of humans. Stress-induced immune diseases are well known. Dry eyes can result from immune related inflammation of the tear forming glands, yielding less year production. A classic example is sjogrens disease

Earlier this week I began getting twitches on the left side of my body. Most in my left eye and my left upper arm. Don't think it is stress based. Also don't believe it is sleep based. Any suggestions on how to stop it?
