Aches And Pains: How Does Depression Affect Your Body?

[Inominatrix]

Depression can manifest in different ways in our bodies, those 'mysterious' aches and pains that crop up and stay for a long time or even worse.

I noticed that my chest hurts and my arms generally feel numb at the onset of stressful moments, and the discomfort stays there indefinitely. A trip to the cardiologist showed that my heart is healthy, and that my chest and arm pains can be attributed to a form of arthritis. So I'm wondering, if it's arthritis, then why do my chest and arms hurt only when I also feel hurt?

Aside form those, I'm also prone to nightmares and for some reason, my body feels paralyzed. It's starting again right now. I have pins and needles along my left arm.

How about you?

Hmmm.. Well if you say you get those feelings when you are stressed it is probably from that. A tiny form of anxiety. When I get stressed, my chest hurts also but more like my heart and my head would race too. Never got tingling sensations though, but its different with every person. I'm not too sure about this Athritis diagnosis, perhaps get another doctors opinion?

Hope this helps.

When I have a really bad period. "Low" I stop eating, I have no appetite whatsoever, the longest so far is I think three or four days, after that I just tell my mom and she makes me eat. She used to be chef
