Is it normal for depression to cause physical pain?

i've fallen into a deep depression, again, but it hasn't been like every other time.
its causing me physical pain, not self inflicted, and i don't know if i should worry about it or not.
there are throbbing, sharp pains going throughout my entire body.
and it seems like i'm always shaking.
is it normal for depression?

    When I have felt really down I sometimes get an aching feeling in the centre of my chest.

      Same here. I've experienced it a lot in primary school.

    When, I get anxiety, I feel like I'm dying and I get sharp pains throughout my body.

    I know how it feels. You're not alone in this.

    Depression can cause both psychological, emotional, and physical pain. Seek help to help resolve your issues so you can get back on your feet.

    It's normal, but sounds really bad.. If you don't want to put up with it anymore, maybe see a Doctor? Or a Psychologist.

    • im sorry but i dont label myself upon the standards of ignorant strangers.

      and since "emo" is short for emotional, every single person fits into that category...

        Emo is short hand for emotional pansy-waist.

        Brb while I buy you a straw so you can suck it up.

    You sure you didn't sit on a nest full of red flesh eating ants? Maybe the pains are not a consequence of the depression.. maybe it is the other way around. Could be A depression due to a general undiagnosed medical condition. Or you are just getting punished for all your sins! Pray the lord and ask for forgiveness. Have faith in the lord almighty. (ah,that was, retarded)
