The Twitch

I'm stressed.  It's no secret.  I'm sure I've complained to many of you, if not all of you, about my schedule, clients, classes, tests, projects, paperwork, lack of social life, lack of sleep, and abundance of stress and/or pressure I feel on a daily basis.  Usually the stress will manifest itself thru insomnia, lack of appetite, serious weight and/or hair loss, or even a "pimple breakout" all over my face.

This time, the stress has manifested itself in an eye twitch--an eye twitch that has lasted (sporadically) for five days.  I think a lack of good sleep, an irregularly large amount of worry over one test, and outrageous amounts of time spent looking at my laptop have combined to create this offense; no matter what has caused it, The Twitch is annoying (I mean, really, I'm trying to study here!).  Here are some other possible theories I have heard, thanks to my many friends in the program who know exactly what I'm going through.

1.  My facial nerve is being "squished."
2.  Parkinson's.
3.  Blepho-something or other.
4.  Depression.

None of these seem like particularly good ideas to me.  Let's just stick with a combination of fatigue and stress paired with staring at computer all day.

*This is NOT how I would react to an eye twitch.
