Question

Have you ever experienced such psychological pain that you could feel it physically?

Answer 1

Yes, this can happen, if you have psychological problems and for example have clinical depression, you not only have the psychological pain, but you have physiological pain such as chest pain because you "overbreathe", you have headaches because of the stress, your body aches because you cant sleep too well and the body is not getting enough rest. You can also get digestive problems because your stomach gets unsettled. So, yes, it usually does come together...

Answer 2

It can happen. If you feel so sad and cry, you cry in a way that makes you feel almost ill. If you receive a very shocking bad piece of news, you react by feeling in a certain way, not comfortable to say in the least, but your body reacts to it.

When I miss someone a lot, I can feel some physical non-well being in my body, almost physical pain.

Answer 3

Someone wrote something to me once and I was so distressed by it I was physically sick, so yes.

Answer 4

yes, there was a bad time, when things got so bad psychologically that i started throwing up - violently.

Answer 5

Yea. Like whenever my ex fiance broke up with me, every word he said to me on how he didnt love me, how he used me, and then he told me he married someone else felt like bullets to the heart. And literally my left side of my chest was in pain, from all the crying i couldnt even breathe, got so depressed lost about 15lbs. I went through a really bad depression, i mean i got sick over a stupid guy!! ugh... but yes The mind and also hurtful words can be very powerful
