Sometimes that happens to me Sheena, if I get really stressed out I won't eat because I feel really sick. Come over to Neils and go in the sauna or the hot tub. That will make you feel better:)

Its proven that stress releases a certain chemical in your body that can make u sick or lower ur immune system etc etc, learned it in psychology class last year :)

[junglequeen]

I know that stress etc can make my stomach feel upset...kind of like the evil twin of the butterflies in your stomach feeling U can can around people....so I can certainly envision people having more extreme reactions than mine and thus causing the need to vomit...

Look up what a placebo effect really is.

At any rate, yes. When i'm stressed out or sad I can get physically ill. I feel like throwing up, get headaches, and have zero energy.

Placebo: Where the act of taking a drug makes a change on the measured variable and whatnot blah blah blah.

She's talking about mind causing you to be ill or whatnot. What's so wrong with your mind causing you to be more healthy? And why is that any different?

edit: Note, however, that I'm a psych Dropout.

Being constantly stressed can raise your chances of getting sick then if u are relaxed and in a good mood... try working out, that helps alot, go for a walk and eat something healthy..
