I'm suffering from total depression atm, my love of my life betrayed me, can depression cause physical illnes?

Question

i feel my body is sick and my heart is irregular, can my emotional state physically hurt me? should i be worried?

Answer 1

I don't know how much you should actually worry.  Yes you can have some serious physical symptoms.  I went through something similar after my divorce.  I talked to a counselor that helped me find ways to deal with the depression.  Exercise helps a lot.  Good luck.  

Answer 2

no please don't be worried your love sick, you need some time out! try watching a dvd that will cheer you up or doing something that will keep you busy, i know what its like to suffer from depression, its best you talk out how your feeling to someone close' you need some tlc :)
