I think the body and the mind are of one entity. this disorder makes perfect sense in that the body is expressing what the mind cannot, when usually it is th emind expressing what the body cannot.
from a psychological standpoint, this is fascinating. but from a realistic standpoint, i can only imagine what it's like to relive the hell of abuse every day years and years after it has stopped. even after the abuser is dead. it has to be a living nightmare.
if i had to make a guess and give a vague answer, i'd say that your problems are both your expression of your anxiety and anger as well as the chemical imbalance affecting your physical health. i think it's cyclic.
it's fascinating and makes me wonder about my own health. something to write in the journal tonight, i guess. thanks for getting my brain working.
