Symptoms of stress?

Posted by mesenberg on Jan. 17, 2010, 1:18 p.m.

So my body has really been acting up recently and I can all but prove that it must be stress related but it really doesn't make sense to me. Please tell me your analysis.

Symptoms:

Constant flushing off the bowels lol, release of adrenaline or something like my body suddenly goes crazy and I cant sit still I get those chills running up and down my body and I can't stop shaking.

Theoretical Cause:

My Ex-gf… So I split with her last august because I left for an Exchange student program my senior year of high school. (I am still on this program until june) and we were still great friends. It kindof seemed that we were just waiting till I came back to get back together but she couldnt wait. She kept deciding that she liked this other person and then coming back to me. And after a while I think its taking its toll on me, I just don't believe her anymore and I am totally tired of her saying she wants me and then not. I dont think its her fault. Basically its a stupid little thing but for some reason its causing me problems. Im serious every time I get on facebook or myspace and read something from her or whatever I get the symptoms mentioned above so I think they have to somehow be related. They were significantly escalated in the past few days because I skyped with her and idk lol. Ive told myself already that I am totally done with her and I don't have to worry about what she's doing, but it hasn't really helped. I'm pretty sure what I need to do is just take a 1 week break from all my social networking and hope this cools my body off. I really don't think this should have an effect on me so much though, I have never had a problem like this before! >.<

Any ideas? Anyone else have similar experiences?

Oh and btw a little background information for those of you who are going to bash the whole idea of relationships and/or waiting for someone when I could be out and about banging random chicks, I'm not like that. I don't believe that's right, I think of girls as more than sex toys and I'm the type of guy who wants to find one girl for life.

You've just raised yourself above 90% of internet males.

Stress and depression are very likely to cause physical problems. I'd imagine your theory is right. But since theory is a scientific word, you need to take scientific measures, and I mean experimenting.

You know what I'm getting at, right? Take a break from her, for a few days, maybe a few weeks at most, and then find out how your symptoms are doing.

But yes, you'd be surprised at what happens to your body through these kinds of experiences. Often it can even be dangerous, so try to take care.

I agree.

But I also don't want a relationship of any sort with a girl.

So I could fall the other way.

In the end I just tell myself to wait and hope I don't dry out

Before I get my chance.

I'm also a victim of these symptoms maybe it's something your eating.

Don't tell yourself, tell her.

Agree with Kilin 100%. I get tired of seeing nothing but these guys talking about how many girls they screwed this week, so it's nice to see some people are still cool. (Yes, I said cool. You can crucify me for that if you want, but I'm sticking to it :p )

The symptons sound exactly like stress… except that "stress" understood as something happening due to the awareness of something terrible coming, like a fight (or an exam). :/

Awww, you just severely decreased your chances of finding a nice girlfriend/wife/whatever else. ;)

Stress does weird things to you sometimes. Recently I got over stressed about college and got sick for 4 days. Pretty much I just sat in bed for 3 days straight. After I finally was able to fix the problem all symptoms went away. Well, I didn't full fix it yet, but enough that the stress is gone.

Another thing, do you go to a Chiropractor? They can help a lot with stress over time. I go every week and it definetly helps a ton. I highly recommend it.

thx guys, I probably will take a break from Facebook from a while. Even if that wasn't the cause it would be a good thing. Who knows maybe I just ate something bad and im coming down with the sickness or something lol.

I should learn yoga haha
