Hi everyone,

The symptoms described in this thread are matching the physical symptoms of stress according to WebMD. Stress preceding an episode of depression makes a lot of sense to me.

Physical symptoms of stress include:

Low energy
Headaches
Upset stomach, including diarrhoea, constipation and nausea
Aches, pains, and tense muscles
Chest pain and rapid heartbeat
Insomnia
Frequent colds and infections
Loss of sexual desire and/or ability
Nervousness and shaking, ringing in the ear
Cold or sweaty hands and feet
Excess sweating
Dry mouth and difficulty swallowing
Clenched jaw and grinding teeth.
Thanks for this!
