Has your mental misery manifested in physical form?

[DefinitelyReady]

Has your mental anguish caused you to feel it physically? If so, what kinds of symptoms? Have you been able to rectify this or control it? Burp.

Edit::: All of these symptoms listed, I can relate to... minus the white hair. Although I've always had this teeny patch of like 5 hairs that have been white since I can remember. (In first grade, a girl was playing with my hair during storytime, and she started giggling and showing everyone my white hairs like "Omg...!" Yeah, that caused a disturbance to storytime...) There's also a lot of symptoms that aren't listed that I have as well.
Hooray for pains of all kind!

The MH issues (depressive episodes and suicidal ideation) that are caused by external circumstances in my case didn't manifest in physical form. Physically I'm healthy as I ever was.

I have no doubts that if I still was so much stressed, and depressed that this would certainly have long-term effects on all health levels.

telogen effluvium, back pains.. fatigue, weight gain, panic attacks..

 

[davidtorez]

I'm the opposite way
My physical problems have added depression anxiety and constant suicidal thoughts

 

[LittleMoose]

I've been more depressed than I ever have been, which led me to this site. But the physical symptoms I've been experiencing as of late are nausea, stomach pains, headaches, and fatigue.

The heartache (loneliness jealousy insecurity etc.) causes like a physical heaviness in my chest similar to dread or panic, it's a main reason why I wanna die.

Has your mental anguish caused you to feel it physically?

Yes, I have constant shallow breathing, my sleep is all kinds of fucked up, my muscles contract subconsciously.

Burp

Amen

Amen

Lol, do you mean "Excuse you."?

 

[GuessWhosBack]

Lol, do you mean "Excuse you."?

No, Amen is funnier where I come from. I can't really explain it, I guess it's a cultural thing.

Not doing well in studies and in result getting punished for that from teachers and parents. I think I felt that physically

I figured, but just thought I'd check. Yeah, those god damn cultural differences lol... smh.

Felt my burp or the punishment from teachers and parents (via a spanking from a wooden ruler)?

 

[SoulWhisperer]

They characterize my life so yeah. I struggle to do many things due to my anxiety and social anxiety that often manifest in forms of stomach knots and nausea. A few times my depression was so bad I couldn't move and felt my body heavy to the point of just feeling frozen in place.

White hair, acne, and losing a ton of weight

 

[Manfrotto99]

Yes stress has caused my immune system to attack itself and I have to take a nasty drug or my hair falls out and I get nasty skin rashes. Panic attacks and fatique I've had for many years.

 

[Lookingtoflyfree]

C-PTSD from abuse and high levels of cortisol ruining my life. I was stable for a bit - even with autism - and abuse has left both nightmares, flashbacks and physical exhaustion. I see death as a sad thing to happen but a release from a body and brain under attack for years. I'm tired. I've tried, but I'm broken now.

My first thought was my appearance/body, it's really fucked up from self harm. But, as for feelings, I'm always fatigued, I get bad anxiety nausea, and I have body aches from tensing up when I'm nervous (which is usually, lol)

I'm supposed to stretch/exercise for muscle pain and fatigue. But it's tiring, and sometimes makes them worse, and tbf, I just can't be assed to try a lot of the time, so I smoke weed instead, lol

 

[Yavannah]

im underweight, suffering from weakness, bad digestion, damaged skin barrier, and when im crashing my joints get inflammed and hurt like hell.

 

[whiteboyswithars]

My head always hurts and I can't make it stop

I used to stretch when I was in a better place, and had Netflix lol... I remember stretching like a motherfucker just while watching the Dahmer series. From the crap I was sleeping on, and considering I'm never ever fully relaxed, it felt good... That's sad that that was an achievement, but it was.

SH marks count; if you weren't in (psychological) pain you wouldn't do it.
