Stress

Very simply stated: Stress causes an increase in the hormone cortisol. Cortisol is a glucocorticoid steroid and has a supressive effect on the immune system, as do all glucocorticoid steroids (ex. dexamethasone). They suppress the inflammatory process which is critical in a properly functioning immune system.

The ways in which the immune system is suppressed by glucocorticoids is EXTREMELY complex, but a simple way to put it is that it keeps white blood cells from doing their job and keeps them from communicating with other white blood cells.

Some simple techniques would include meditation and deep breathing. Learning to speak positively is important, as is finding a hobby that is enjoyable. Even finding someone to talk to in conficence can be a great way to deal with stress.

You're your own victim. Stop taking on so much in your perceived competition which is only with yourself. You only need to publish a few (2-3) good papers a year. Take a holiday. Academia will roll on without you...in fact if you chill out no one will probably notice. If academia is all too much, maybe just quit and take a day-job. You're only trying to make yourself feel important by all this striving to achieve.

Otherwise, just master the switch on, switch off.
