Yeah it’s not super often but it’s like a soreness and fatigue mixed with a really bad stomach ache that often leads to puking

Yeah, psychosomatic pain, it's definitely a real thing. Honestly, like the other guy suggested, a lot of bodily systems are interconnected in weird ways, so inflammation or a deficiency in something, for example, can make you feel like literal shit, literal pain notwithstanding.

Yeah, just got exiled from my only friend group right before an exam. Alone and unprepared is a wonderful combination

Stress in general can lead to inflammation in your body, especially if you’re already kinda prone to chronic aches and pains. I have an autoimmune disease and it will flare if I’m too stressed.

Thank you! As a freshman it's definitely an experience. Hopefully I can get more connected with some of the folks from my church as a result

Ohh ok omg. So my friends and I like to, like, spectate the freshman friend groups all implode around this exact time of the semester. You’ll find like actual friends later on but it might not be like, a cohesive group the way ppl think.
