It doesn't take just the blows to make your soul mark with pain. Moreover, I would dare to say that psychological abuse is perhaps the one that affects a human being the most. A blow or a wound heals quickly, not a blow to your self-esteem.
It is perhaps because of the above that many people who suffer psychological abuse fall into disorders such as self-harm; They may even attempt against your life.
If you lived or live a situation like the one I describe, you know that it is a painful truth.
Stress
The body and the mind are one unit. What affects mood plays a role in the body.
It is no secret that the brain controls the body. However, emotions affect the brain in such a way that it can make the body sick.
For context, let's talk about stress. When a person is in a constant state of overwhelming it is "natural" for him to begin to get sick.
Symptoms of excessive stress are as follows:
Digestive upset (diarrhea or constipation)
Bad memory
Pains and different types of frequent ailments
Headache
Lack of energy or concentration
Sexual problems
Stiff neck or jaw
Tiredness
Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much
Use of alcohol or drugs to relax
Weight gain or loss
Now when stress becomes chronic, the reality is that it will trigger a host of illnesses. Among these are:
Heart failure
Diabetes
Obesity
Depression or anxiety
Skin problems, such as acne or eczema
Menstrual problems
Irritated colon
Gastritis
Acne
These diseases can be the result of an unpleasant job, family problems, financial problems, among others.
Diseases Caused By Stress Through Psychological Abuse
Abuse of this type can come from many areas; both at school, at home, or at work. Whether you are a child or an adult, the results are going to be the same.
The illnesses that arise due to psychological abuse are 3:
1- Emotional gastritis
Gastritis is a disease that causes inflammation in the stomach by bacteria. This inflammation generates discomfort when assimilating food.
Now, nervous or emotional gastritis (functional dyspepsia) arises due to bad times or psychological abuse. The symptoms between the two ailments are similar; however, stomach inflammation arises from excessive stress.
Another big difference between the two gastritis is that the second can be treated both with a strict change in diet, as well as with psychological treatment and leading a quiet life.
Symptoms
At the time of a complicated situation, symptoms arise:
Stomach ache.
Lack of appetite.
Acidity.
Stomach heaviness
Sickness.
2- Hypertension
Although we are physically prepared to face stressful situations, the reality is that if they exceed the limits they will lead to the body becoming ill. This is just what happens with hypertension due to psychological abuse.
Although it is true that there is no medical evidence that indicates that hypertension can be caused strictly by stress, reacting inadequately to difficult situations predisposes to this disease.
Now, there are certain bad habits that make a person sick with hypertension; for instance:
Smoke
Drink liquor
Eating the wrong way.
Again, the best way to reduce the dangers of high blood pressure is to lead a calm life. In addition, it is necessary to eat healthily, exercise moderately, and completely stop bad habits.
3- Eye Spills
Many people at some point have felt that terrible discomfort that eye spills generate.
Eye effusions are small hemorrhages that occur in the sclera. The difference between the spills caused by stress to those that arise from being exposed to the cold after being in a warm environment is that the former do not present obvious physical discomforts. What's more, the ocular spills generated by psychological abuse disappear with the passing of the days.
The interesting thing about this type of discomfort caused by stress is that it is generated by the repression of overwhelming emotions. It is as if suddenly the problems "explode" manifesting in the eyes.
Although not all people will suffer from this type of stroke, those who are more nervous may be more susceptible to this discomfort.
It is important that you know how to handle high levels of stress. The reason is that this not only causes eye spills, it also leads to gradual loss of vision.
4- Stress Diabetes
High levels of psychological abuse can trigger diabetes. The reason is that stress causes blood glucose to rise.
What happens is that stressful situations cause the body to react by releasing stress hormones into the blood to prepare the body to "escape danger."
When there is stress, the adrenal glands enlarge and produce two hormones: adrenaline and norepinephrine. What norepinephrine does is prevent the drop in blood pressure; while adrenaline regulates blood glucose.
That rise in blood glucose prepares the body for physical activity should it have to escape. The release of adrenaline helps to achieve this. In this way, the secretion of these hormones and the increase in blood pressure ensures that the body receives good oxygenation and glucose to all its parts.
A person who suffers psychological abuse and is predisposed to suffering from diabetes can have a “shot” of it at any time.
The recommendation is always to seek adequate medical help. The point is to learn to master stress and remove the events or people that cause you discomfort in your daily life.
A change in life and habits is the most recommended if what you want is to be healthy and happy.
