Hi. My eye used to twitch maybe once every few weeks/months but not enough to be a bother. Then a few months ago I noticed it started twitching every few minutes and would not stop. This went on for about two weeks. I looked up causes for it and read that stress could cause it. Honestly, I did not have much money so I was looking for a low-costing remedy. I started "worrying less". When my kids started to be a bit much, I would go in the other room. I focused more on thoughts that made me happy. I attend school online. I took two days to catch up and get ahead on my school work. I even took a day off from work while the kids were in school. I was careful not too stay up too late (12am). I'm not exactly sure which day the twitch went away. All I know is that my twitch was so bad that everyone, even kids, that talked to me noticed it. After about 1-2 weeks my friends and family were like, hey, your eye isn't jumping!

Eye twitch

Several years ago I developed an eye twitch after my grandfather died. I had been unable to attend the funeral as it was overseas, but I also refused to cry, or view photos or video of the funeral, so as to not have to deal with the grief. Then when I decided to look at the photos and video, and have a good cry, the twitching stopped immediately and for good. I realized the twitching was due to the stress of suppressed grief.

My sister also gets eye twitches after sleep deprivation.

OMG same happened to me! I've had continuous eye twitching since my grandmother died. It's been 4 months now. How long did this last for you?

Glad to hear I'm not alone!
