some will gain weight though from 'comfort eating'
That's true, some probsbly will.
yea the weight thing is definitely dependent on individual. But either way, stress is certainly a silent killer
I myself had a very stressful episode about ten years ago, where I for about half a year lost at least 10-15 kilos of weight and discovered a year later that my hair had visibly greyed. That came as a shock.
yikes, that's no good. Sounds like ya made through so that's good at least🙏
