It's more than that
Stress is characterised by increased heart rate, a rise in blood pressure, muscular tension, irritability and depression.
However, Dictionary.com doesn't mention that stress also causes severe indulgence and an overworked digestive system.
Stomach, say hello to carrot cake, raspberry-chocolate meringue, chocolate pistachio cake, instant noodles, Waffles Crisp, chestnut cake and sago dessert.
Neither does it state that stress makes one instinctively feel like painting nails.
I'm done painting all 20 of mine and I've no more left! Let me help you with yours. I'll bring the polish, I'll even let you choose the colour!
Nor does it let on that stress can damage one's taste in music till one proclaims liking an electronic trance number.
I'll let you listen to the song. You can laugh hysterically at my dreadful taste. Or turn ghastly pale and screech in utmost horror, "Have you totally lost it?" Either way, I won't hear you, because my mind registers only the strains of the synthetic, repetitive tune and the thup-thumping beats.
