    Have you ever been so stressed out that you made yourself sick?

    No. I've been so stressed that I intentionally shattered my knuckle against a wall, but that's about it. Nothing as serious as puking. lol

    Well, I'm not sick to my stomach but I've been so stressed that I have a bad headache and feel like I have a cold.

    Oh, I thought you meant you were sick at the stomach. Yeah I have headaches most days. It sucks ass. Stress-induced headaches are the worst kind. For me, it always hurts in the back of my head, like a throbbing pressure, which just makes the stress worse. And medicine doesn't work.

    sounds like a migraine. imitrex is your friend. if you can't get that, caffiene and ibuprofen. HEAVY caffiene.

    When I was with a really mind fucking and controlling person I was always sick...pnemonia, strep...even mono. Since that ended I haven't been sick once *knocks on wood*. I get sick a lot when I have continuous stress. Work doesn't make me sick-sick it just gives me migraines.

    Yes, all the time. I'm always like that during the school year. It's a combination of stress and lack of sleep for me usually.

    Yep... stress and lack of sleep can defiantly do it.

    And it's just a chain reaction. You are so stressed that you can't sleep, which makes you even more stressed.
