Suffer is physical pain in mind?

Post Reply New Topic

For me depression/feeling bad/being upset/low mood will often mean a physical pain in my mind, one with varying degree the worse I feel. Can be as mild as feeling fuzzy to so physically intense I just have to close my eyes and lie there in the dark.

Is this specific pain normal? I think it's different from feeling numb or emotional pain.

Does anyone know what is actually happening, scientific explanations would be particularly interesting? Any means of preventing it?

Are they headaches? I mean, I don't really think of a mind as being physical at all.
A lot of times depression for me is a feeling like right above my stomach.. kinda..
I think of a mind as being more a.. urgh, I can't think of the right word.. like the non-physical extension of the brain. so I'm not totally sure what physical pain in your mind would actually feel like.

Mental pain can be physical-ish sometimes, but.. not quite.
Okay, I haven't actually said much here, have I? There aren't good words for saying what I'm trying to say or what I'm trying to understand.

That does sound like migraine doesn't it?

If you mean that you get headacks, regardless of how you feel, then you do need a physical exam. There might be a health issue. Not saying it's serious though.

Anyway, the emotional area of the brain causes depression, happiness, ect., so actualy they are emotional. Emotional scensations can cause some physical symptoms, by degree, and I only can scratch the surface of that.

If you mean emotional pain, it usually manifests as pain in the body and other physical effects, as well as outlook and behavior. I too, don't feel pain in the area of my head when I'm in physical pain.

To avoid the confusing connotations of mind, physical and emotional, I mean the pain is in my head.

By physical pain I basically mean the feeling you get from a headache, only instead of a pulse this is simply there continuously, rarely as intense as the peak of the headache but a low level constant pain that is really difficult to handle.

Emotional pains seems to occur roughly in the heart, meanwhile depression/numbness is more a feeling or emotional state than causing a physiological identifiable pain. Any of these can then cause another, but the physical pain in my head is distinct from those two.
