So have you ever gotten to the point where you were stressed out, and got sick from it, and then you try to still work but your mind just doesn't want to cooperate with you and you just feel numb and walk around back and for doing nothing?

time to smoke some cheeba.

Yes.
A few years ago I was struggling for money and out of work. Above my left eye I developed an involuntary twitch as the vein above my left temple got larger due to stress. It got so bad I couldn't sleep at night. It was pretty bad.
Gotta focus on the positives in life no matter how rough it gets.

akoni... yes... indeed. :(
cheeba 'helps' but loses its ability to relax you in the long run too...
... I got really sick not long ago - even ended up in the hospital due to the stress etc... You have to just... stop, dude. Take two-three days... and veg. If you can't do that - well...
... you have to. :) Work is far less important than your health.

take some days off. force yourself to do nothing if you have to. have some friends over, be merry.
start your next plan of attack too. that always makes me feel chipper when i know i have something to accomplish.

During that time I was super stressed out for shits n giggles I went 3 days without saying a single word. Not one single word.
It was nice cause it gave me some quite time to reflect, but sad that none of my so-called friends called or anything in 3 days. haha.

yes. a few years ago, during a very difficult time in my family, my stress levels were so high that my ob-gyn thought I was pregnant because of high levels of a particular chemical in my blood. when all 3 pregnancy tests came back negative, I was sent to an endocrinologist because the levels of that chemical were so high, they thought I had a brain tumor. According to the endocrinologist, there's normal level of this chemical, a high level which usually pregnant women have because their bodies are stressed. He said my level was so beyond that, that my body thought it was in labor 24 hours a day. In his 30 years of being an endocrinologist, he'd only heard of levels as high as mine before. Oddly enough he gave me some really strong OTC calcium pills that knocked me out.

Right now I am back to freelance, it was too hard for me to work contract in house for a studio, although I respect them greatly.
I am going to school again too but only part time, so the work portion isn't too hard, just the fact to get things done, and get invoices paid.
When you have 2 others (gf and her daughter) that depend on you too, its a bit rough. My gf is in a nursing program, and is finishing in a year, and until she does, it is ultra difficult for her to work.
So last week buried me with clients repeatedly calling me needing something, and me running to get stuff done. It resulted in me falling behind in a project for a company that I highly respect, because of a few of the owners there of whom I am close with.
I got sick probably about Monday night, and my mind and body are just dragging, but feel I can't take any time off because I need to make sure I line up more clients, and am able to keep up with bills (like everyone else here).
So I am nothing special, I am sure there are other people here that have it rough, or rougher. I have been through the freelance thing once before, and when it got dry, life got pretty ugly for a while.
Thanks for the words though, oh... and as far as cheeba goes... one puff of that..and I am dead... asthma wouldn't like it :)

mentally, I'm fine with dealing, but physically I suck. usually I have eye twitches or stomach aches, but I feel/think like I'm not actually stressed out.
