Where do you carry your stress/anxiety?

[AnxiousinOH 1]

I have found over the years I carry it in two places:

1) Left shoulder and upper left back. When I am stressed I find I am unconsciously flexing those muscles and lifting my shoulder.

2) Clenched right side of teeth mouth. Odd as it sounds I find myself doing this as well sometimes. This  causes pain in the muscles in the right side of my throat.

In my stomach.  I tend to start feeling a rumbling and things in the bathroom get very loose.  Sometimes for days.

Over the years, it been all over the place.

My body used to go stiff.

Teeth clenching with Paxil - ended up with two crowns and broken teeth, almost having a third crown!
