When I get really stressed for some reason I get or feel ill. Like soon I'm going to have to go back to school and last night I felt awful, I felt like I was gona throw up and even though I was really tired I couldn't get to sleep untill much later. It's happened loads of times before and the worst part is if I actually get an ilness it's much worse than normal. I'm not sure why; is this normal?

    It's normal, I studied it in psychology in college. Stress weakens you immune system, especially if it's chronic.

    Yes; it's normal. And it's a proven fact (or so I learned in psychology) that enough stress can lead to a serious illness such as cancer. It's okay to be under a little stress, as everyone gets stressed out, but if you feel you have too much of it try vacationing or another way to relax, as too much stress can be dangerous.

    And try exercising, it'll relive the stress and boost your immune system.

    When you're stressed out, adrenaline is released into your blood stream to help you cope with whatever you're facing. Now, high adrenaline blood levels over an extended period of time, unfortunately, weakens your immune system and you become more susceptible to bacterial and viral infections. So it's normal.

    you might have a social phobia? I think that's what I have...... I've heard Prozac doesn't work for every one. Good luck

    Totally normal, it happens to me all the time. If u constantly feel that way, talk to ur doctor. I did and I am now taking Prozac, it helps with anxiety.
