For as long as I can remember, whenever I feel a strong emotion (usually hurt feelings/emotional pain/trauma memories, etc.,)I get sharp pains through my chest/tips of my fingers/stomach. Strong emotions also make me feel sick (usually nausea.) I always assumed everybody felt pain with intense emotions because it’s all I’ve ever known but pretty much everyone I’ve talked to about it says I’m crazy. I’ve never read about anything like this either. So, friends, I was just curious. Am I the only one who feels actual physical pain/illness directly connected to their emotions or are there others out there too? Honestly sometimes it feels like my emotions drown me. If you’ve experienced anything like this before, please let me know how you made it stop because it is EXHAUSTING.
