Can you damage your head from really bad internalized stress and anger and guilt?

Question

I suffer from really bad post traumatic stress disorder

Part of my problem is I internalize everything how I feel

A few months ago I woke up all dizzy and lightheaded and I have felt his way since

My brain is just in a complete fog, I can not describe how I feel, did I kill off all my brain cells? Did I do some other damage

I tell my doctor but he just tells me it is all in my head and he wont give me a referral to a neurologist(I have to go to a low cost clinic and they are cheap)

I have felt this way for about 4 months and it is getting worse, is this all in my head and I have to relax or something, or did I do some damage, I really think I might have destroyed almost all my brain cells or maybe done something else like give my self a unruptred anureusm or maybe a few of them

Answer 1

You can ruin your entire immune system by allowing this to continue. You need to get help and go to some of the groups that are available.

Grief, in any form, can be devestating and can wreck your health.

You won't do serious damage to your brain cells, but you can to your entire body. You don't need a neurologist, you need councelling and a group. You can't just relax, you and i both know it. But with the right kinds of help, you can work to get better. Your brain needs looked at, but not the kind of doc you think. Think psychiatrists or councellor instead. Get help in the right field. Neurology can do nothign for you.

Answer 2

if you are dizzy and lightheaded it could be from stress and the way you feel, it's called psychosomatic symptoms, in other words you can cause yourself to feel worse.

but don't ignore signs of physical trouble. if you're not feeling well, you probably aren't well.  

yes, shrinks and counselors are great, but don't let people tell you it's all in your head if you feel you have serious health issues other than just mental issues.  get to both kinds of doctors when you need to.
