psychosomatic illness

Posted by pearl on May 15, 2005, at 1:59:44

I recently developed a cold. Yes, I know, big deal. I am not one who is normally shocked by this. In fact, I seem to always be having a constant cold. However, this one hit me harder then usual, and I've been out of classes for an entire week now. I still feel pretty crappy. In the time I've spent at home, I kept telling myself that I really had to get work done. But I could only do it on some very few occasions. Now, I had an entire week, so this started to strike me as odd. Staying home because you're sick is one thing, but not doing the assignments you know you have to get done? Then I started noticing that every time I sat down to work... I started feeling bad. I got stiffly, and there was coughing and sneezing and general grossness. So I was wondering... can it be psychosomatic? Can the stress of feeling like I have to work all the time have made my mind invent an excuse to get out of it? And if so, did it make me sick, or is it just preventing me from getting better? How do I fix it?

Thanks much for anybody who bothered to read… I'm new, So I don't really know what to expect, or if this is the kind of thing thats discussed here.
