I'm not sure this is the right forum, or really needed, nor am I sure I worded the title very well! But basically i've been thinking of this for a day or two. Does anyone else think that on some level, the stress of worrying about getting ill actually makes us a little bit ill? I know stress causes nausea, but it feels even more than that. Given the stress of the winter and how worrying it can be with someone with emet, I've been feeling really tired, getting head aches, random belly aches, random bouts out of nowhere of panic and worry and depression; feel disorientated, like there's far too much on my mind. Feel like it's hard to focus on anything. Basically feel like i've had a year's worth of bad stress and need a holiday, feel exhausted! I know a lot of you are probably thinking "well yeah, duh" but it's literally only just dawned on me how debilitating this can be, how tiresome and draining, both mentally and physically. I always feel guilty too for feeling generally unwell when i'm not unwell, and i guess that doesn't help either.
Basically I want the winter to be over already so i can go back to my ordinary, not-dreading-every-single-day way of life XD not that it ever truly goes away ...
