Can you get brain damage from severe internalized anger and stress?

Question

I suffer from really bad post traumatic stress disorder

One of my problems is I internalize my anger whenever I hear noises or things that bother me

All of it goes right to my head and I always feel like something is dying (in my head)whenever I do this

A few months ago I woke up all dizzy and lightheaded and I have essentially felt this way since then and I am getting much worse

I cant even describe how I feel, it is a constant state of dizziness and this over all feeling of being out of it

I know I must hvae done some damage but not sure I can admit to it, I am still hoping it is psychological but I dont think so, whenever I see doctors they seem to think there is nothing wrong with me and it is in my head

From years of extreme internalized anger and stress, is it possible to do long term permanent damage? I think I know the answer but just waiting for a response

Answer 1

i dont think that could get you brain damage x x x

Answer 2

Leave somethere for a while,including the routines You do,work etc.Rest fully do not think or do much.Nothing to internalize then,don't You think?Give Yourself complete rest like that,given to the body at night for it to recover.No sleep,no rest,You know what follows:about the same You have got now,if You simply try no sleeping at night,morning brings ruin,unability to work etc.So "go sleeping" in a more general sence:no business,just rest.If You think You need to keep working,consider the consequences of serious nervous damage if You keep to.You sound psychotically ill.Do instead something pleasant and healthy,engaging,no business even close,listen to radio,watch TV,walk,cancell for a while all the problems You "need" to deal with and take a large peaceful "sleep"

Answer 3

please dont let emotions get the best of you. i know someone like that, it affects her socially, financially, in her relationship and everything. try to chill it, i dunno about brain damage but it causes high blood pressure and even hypertension. youu dont need it

Answer 4

when your angry are you putting stress on your head, i dont know how to explain it but I know what your talking about

Imo you cant really do any PHYSICAL damage to your brain that way and if you can im sure its not irreversible.

Do you get a headache?

just try to let it all out man

get a good therapist and/or psychiatrist/psychologist!

best of luck to you don't worry about it! remember that all the unwanted feelings your feeling are temporary and you can get through it with hard work and diligence. I have faith in you :]]

This is the symptom checker on Web MD a very good site.  I don't think that anger and stress so much causes brain damage, but it is proven that stress can cause physical illness.  You can see from the above site that there are several physical things that could be wrong if you are feeling lightheaded and dizzy.  You should see a doctor.  One of the things it says is benzodiazepene abuse and I don't know if you take Xanax or any other type of benzodiazepene medicines but it could be from that too.  Really you should get checked out and also, put in lightheadedness in the symptom checker and check that out too so you will know what to discuss with the doctor.  I learned a long time ago that Stress believe it or not can actually kill you, slow down and see a doctor.
