thank you this is exactly what im going thru, this economy has had me outta work for 6 months already the stress is just makin me gain so much weight and my acne oh no..... thank god you guys cant see me :D LOL

No, Alison from Florida ;)

I've lost alot of weight because of the stress. Now i look so skinny and i don't know what to do to gain my weight back.

I had my hair cut and weaved on valentines day, and IVY did his thing, it was my first hair cut ever and it look so natural. He is also a make up artist, He is the SH--! when it comes to cosmetology. He inspire's me. Tyra he is located on 125 street, between 5th and Lenox Ave in Harlem, child he needs his own shop!

Stress is really that bad it can mess with your looks people can literally age with alot of stress. I hate the way I look when stressed out,tired and worn most of the time.

I have noticed it myself! I look horiiable wen im depress=(

I didnt know stress can do all this, i was really wondering why my face never seems to clear up.I am 22, and stress has been tearing me up, from ever since, no breaks and talking to my mom doesnt help cause she either dozes off or never has any positive answers but i just keep telling myself " hey, there are other people in the world who may be going through more than me, and then again God does'nt give you more than you can handle". This always makes me feel better....Bye!

I have been going through so much stress, from singing lessons to school! I just feel like I'm to dumb, or I'm too fat, or I'm bad at singing. I find myself crying everyday, and I'm only 13! I've been noticing that my hair is worse and that I've been getting sicker and getting more pimples! People keep bringing me down though, there always saying your fat, and ew look at your pimples! it horrible, I can't handle it. I tell people that I want to be singer, but they just laugh or don't really care. The more I try to be perfect and block out discouraging comments, the more I cry! I think being yourself is really important, its important to remind yourself who you are, and how each person is awesome and special! I write memos to myself to make myself feel better!

Alison, from DePaul?

I can certainly attest to the terriable impact stress can have on your over all appearance I also lost my hair and sruggle with terriable acne extreme fatigue and constant headaches. All because of the past 24 months When me and my husband lost our home and our jobs and then my father-in-law past away my favorite nephew was murdered and now my husband has died from a heart attack due to the stress and now I am dealing with my son who was recently told he has schzophrenia. Life get pretty hard at time and it's important to take time to care for your self.

I am living proof of what stress can do to your body and I want to share! During my final internship of college most of my hair fell out, for real. I had alopecia which was, according to my doc, mainly caused by burning myself out at work and at school! My doc says my auto immune system started attacking itself. It sucked, to say the least. My advice is just to remember to take care of yourself - i think a lot of people don't understand the importance of taking time out of your day just to chill with yourself and take a breathe-er. Take care.
