Does your emotional health affect your physical health?

[sorrento56]

I have had a tough day. I have got myself upset over something but I am also cross as I have done it to myself . I now have a headache and I am sure it is because of this, the kids haven't been particularly noisy for example. I have also been teary and that can bring on a headache with me .

Mine does.

If I am stressed or worried my IBS kicks off very quickly, and my Rosacea flares up.

Hope you manage to have a relaxing evening!

I believe it can. When I feel down I get very tired, Lots of headaches, when I have got more officially depressed it manifests almost flu like symptoms.

I saw your post earlier. Have things got any better since? Have you talked to anyone about it in RL?

I am supposed to be going out tomorrow with a friend and her kids but can't really afford it and the weather is going to be wet so stressing about that now.

I am not sure which thread, wingandprayer, have been moany today . Post on it for me?

Just one earlier that said you were upset with yourself but didn't want to discuss it - that was you wasn't it?!

Can you get your friend over tomorrow instead, buy a pack of biscuits and tell her all about it? Cheaper, drier and still gives you a chance to vent

Oh yes . Still .

Will wait and think about tmw, not sure what to do tbh. Not feeling sociable at all.

Well whatever has upset you will continue to upset you even if you see friend. Far better to go and do something and either take your mind off it or talk about it rather than sit in your house and continue to dwell.

The last time I had something like this I was meant to see friends, decided I didn't want to go, DH ejected me from house for my own good, I ended up blurting it all out to them and feeling sooooooo much better. They were really cross that I had a) considered not coming and b) not talked to then earlier. I went home happier and with a new perspective. Didn't change the facts, but I was much more able to handle it.

Do see your friend tomorrow. That's what friends are for.

I am really struggling tbh right now. I have been off with the kids and thinking that it is awful for them and totally not fair. Wondering if they would be better off with no mum rather than one who takes out her problems on them .

Oooo Christ only just seen this, went missing last night. Sorrento are you still there love?

You really need to talk to someone today if you are having these feelings. Someone professional. Are you being treated for depression at the minute? If not please go and see your GP today, if you are, phone them now, and if you can't get hold of them please call the Samaritans 08457 90 90 90.

Your kids would not be better off without you. They need you. Do it for them.

PLease come back and let me know you are OK.

Ok, just seen other thread from this morning so can see that you are feeling a bit better today. But please get some help sweetheart.

Un MN hugs

Hi, just got back from the doctors. He has upped my pain killers and is asking the consultant if I should be tested for Fibromyalgia. I feel really low today but I am going to ring dh now. Thanks.
