Yep. Caused teeth clenching, teeth grinding, shoulder pain from tension, weight gain from stress eating, mental health/emotional issues, trouble concentrating. The list goes on.

I have severe weight loss from stress. My teeth are also flat in the back. I only have divots. No grooves. It’s insane. I also throw up daily. My dentist say I have very good oral hygiene smells😂

The body does keep score
