I Make Myself Ill.. With Stress.

We all deal with stress differently! I too shut down, but I take it to another level and actually dissociate, and feel as if I'm trying desperately to leave my body. Its actually the bodies way of trying to fend out panic and anxiety. In and of itself is a terrifying feeling. Things appear to not be real and I too have that feeling of unreality.

while some individuals get ulcers we shut down and I dissociate when even the normal stressors get to be too much. Good luck!!

Hello again, unhealthy fear is usually the primary cause of stress, by unhealthy i mean fear of not getting what you expect, and if you get what you expect you fear loosing it again, so as you can see getting what you want ,or not getting what you want both contribute to stress. You may have heard me talk about life being made of illusions , i think this is one example. you say isn"t every one like that, well yes thats why theres so much stress. We are all responsible for making plans but it is delusional to think we can predict the out come, we can only have faith in our plans wants and needs. most humans with out realizing are to some extent controlling,in the illusion that they are in control of they destiny. All the above examples are causes of stress but unfortunately most of us dont realize it. By living this way we are playing God. Just relax and listen to that old song by the beatels ( Let it be) and let your life unfold with out trying to control it. Life is far greater than any of us and it has never being controlled, dictators have tried but have never succeeded, but thats another story. I hope all this has not caused you stress, lol bye for now

Hello, im sorry to hear about your stress, it seems that stress can manifest its self in many ways weather it be physical or mental. Like you i all so feel some how ashamed of feeling stress when i hear about other peoples problems , but i try not to do this any more because stress is personal to you especially if it interferes with your quality of life. Feeling frustrated about feeling stress will only increase the stress, and stress is not prejudice, poor people feel stress , and rich wealthy people feel stress. I all so find it interesting that stress is not only brought on by negativity, stress can be a cause of high expectations, and it does not matter what those expectations are, for example you say you have good friends and family and no financial worries , this may sound strange but paradoxically this could be the cause of the stress, you are so great full for this, that some where in your subconscious mind you have a slight fear of loosing your gratitude for life. Now im not saying thats the case, but the human mind is very subtle complex and baffling. But if the symptoms continue i would get a second opinion, hope you feel better soon, bye.
