can anxiety actually make us unwell?

[f0rest]

well i was just wondering, can anxiety make us all feel weird and make us have real symptoms of a serious disease/infection?

I certainly think so

I agree. It can throw up lots of physical symptoms and makes us feel that normal sensations in the body are a sign of serious illness.

If you make can it ACTUALLY make us ill , as in can we get a disease from anxiety , then no. But we certainly do feel ill with it and i guess it leads to us getting colds , picking up bugs etc . Look after yourself , eat well , take vitamins ,sleep.. all these things will help .

Sure can, Somatic Illness is a big deal for many people

[macc noodle]

Yes - it can!!!! I am sure that many of us on here can certainly bear witness to that fact
