Why does the mental feel physically

[jaytexan90]

I have the same issue! The brain has a way of making your whole body feel bad. That is definitely anxiety at its finest. My back literally hurts all the time and I feel like my internal organs are always sore or hurt.

That is so ctazy to me i refuse to take medications

[jaytexan90]

Yeah! I was the same way. The doctor had prescribed me some anxiety meds but I only take it when necessary. I actually have been taking Benadryl instead of the anxiety meds and it really helps as a sedative (for anxiety) and puts me to sleep.

Hi, i think Mental health problems and Physical​ go hand in hand. The body has to deal with both and one affects the other. If i have lots of Worry and recently i have had, i get headaches​, bodily aches, lack of Sleep. till i,m actually exhausted. Last Sunday i slept round the Clock! And felt better afterwards.

Because the mind and body are inextricabley linked and what happens with one will affect the other. That's one reason why depression and anxiety are so hard to fight as it is a double whammy. x

simple answer, our minds control our bodies. When dealing with anxiety, and depression we can make ourselves sicker. Our whole body reacts to stress and anxiety, it's a physiological fact.
