Physical Symptoms of Mental Illness

Yes, I do as well. I've never truly been to a therapist to help with my symptoms because of certain reasons but this past semester of college, I had to take two months off to get my mind straight and my body back to normal. It wasn't fun being constantly tied to the bed or couch but it had to be done. I wasn't in the right head space nor was my body in top shape. Fever, chills, headaches, nausea. It was horrible

Yes! I think I have been sick more times in my life over the past two years because I am struggling with my mental health so much.

Yep! I get physically sick all the time especially when my anxiety gets out of control

🤗🤗🤗

Were they alcoholics or on drugs or did they have mental issues themselves or did they have parents that treated them just as bad when they grow up?

So I did it cause I wasn't worth anything. I deserved to take away the pain. Have it end with me. Have the pain and hurt stop creating more and more pain and hurt. Take what I could out of this world while I could. Try to make those around me happy even if it was at my own expense

I would have gotten off easy someday if it was just a belt or wooden spoon. If it was beatings it wasn't spanking and didn't stop till I stopped moving or threw up. I felt as tho I wasn't worth anything other than that cause It was the only thing I could do to bring happiness to the other people around me. If they were beating on me someone they were just frustrated and angry. If they weren't beating on me it was the other children

I was actually the second youngest. But I was the only one who would stand up for all. I didn't care if they were older or younger. I felt like in a sense it was upto me to take it cause they didn't deserve it. I did

ik that's right. Sometimes the touch of someone I care alot about means alot to me. I don't have many people who care, ir that can stay around and show they care cause I will blackout and go on,what they call, pain sprees. Where I stop seeing people as people and more so as creatures trying to hurt me. So I run and fight back against any touch. But 2 people have managed to work themselves threw to the point where I still see them as people in that mind set. It's weird yk

I believe I went threw it so no other children around me did. I was adopted in a sense and was in a house with 6 other children that I pretty much raised. So I had no choice. It was either me or them. And if I go back I would take it all again for them to not feel the pain I did/do

We all need good hugs

See I feel like crying hearing about your pain and suffering that y'all had to experience

yeah ik

It sounds like there's some also PTSD involved

And for me it goes from fever to aches and pains to throwing up and sometimes actually bleeding from my mouth for no physical reasons

Yes. Mine is my body remembering the beating I received as a child for showing or feeling "negative" emotions. I get overly apologetic until I just go emotionally numb and then manic or hyper active. My brain does a full reboot every time I try to tall about what I've been throw or show any real emotions.

Like they say it's easier said than done but I do take vitamins regularly and I do try to get proper sleep because otherwise lack of sleep makes it worse for me

I get physically sick when I'm depressed too, my migraines are worse and I get fevers easier. I also throw up alot more. You're not alone. Just focus on staying physically healthy, eat well and take vitamins <3
