Random Unqualified Psychology Hypothesis
@Angle@witches.town When researching stress, I read about how our bodies' stress responses are well designed to cope with sudden, short-term alarms (a panther, a fall): flush the body with epinephrines, which then stop quickly. When we suffer creeping, long-term stresses (checking email, social anxieties), our bodies do what they know how to do, except we're producing the response chemicals all the time, which is hard on us physically.
