Current Events

This whole week has been extremely crazy for me. Between school, homecoming, swimming, and all the assignments i have to stay on top of i'm really beginning to get run down. Just the stress of college applications, scholarships, and wanting to do my best in everything is tearing me apart. Then come to find to my luck of it all, the day after homecoming when i can attempt to catch up on rest i get extremely sick. That was leading my curiosity to one thing currently, is it possible that being over stressed can cause you to get sick?

After all, when i'm stressed out i don't feel good about myself, i dont have an appetite, and i can barely get sleep. The three of those alone make the possibility of it all seem true, but is it more a mental thing than anything? Do we trick our minds to thinking that being that low on life forces us to get sick or is it that we actually do catch a virus and there for dont feel well? Someone let me know what you think!

  1. That same thing happened to me! I really don't know what to think. It's really upsetting though because it's as if we aren't worked up enough and it's just one more thing we have to deal with. Maybe we just shouldn't get so worked up, but it's kind of frustrating.

  2. I think that when we are stressed out we don't think about our daily lives as much as we probably should. I mean whether it be washing your hands or eating the right foods. I get stressed out a lot. Really for a lot of the same reasons as all teenagers. It is just crazy how horrible we feel when we are stressed out.
