To be so stressed you make yourself sick?
I've been having a really bad... year...
And this weekend really killed me, I feel horrible and today was even worse...
Was just wondering if it could be all the stress or am I just getting sick? T-T

Maybe both. Stress wears out and weakens the immune system making it easier to get sick.

To answer your question: yes you can get yourself so stresseed you get sick. Your immune system is usually weaker when you're really stressed, plus general wear and tear on the body and mind. Managed to do a number on myself one finals week and nearly gave myself an ulcer.

Ow...
Well... Its just family issues for me.
Seems to be yell at Ashley weekend...
I almost had a break down in the car when my dad was taking me back to my moms work; I didn't want to go back...
But since my dad really has no legal rights to me... I had to...
My step dad has been yelling at me since I got home and my mom was just mean until she noticed how stressed I was...

Oh, it's definitely possible. Stress and sickness are often directly related, because the stress puts added pressure on the immune system. I've got a co-worker who's stressed herself sick a couple times, to be honest. So I wouldn't be surprised if the two were correlated here.

...I really hope my mom lets me stay home.
I mean, I missed two days already, but this just sucks...
I wont miss much, I never do... Only four classes including gym...
And its not my fault I'm stressed >.<
If she would just stop yelling I wouldn't be...
So... yeah...
*curls up slightly*
*hugs* I hope you feel better.
I'm stressed all the time, but I don't let it get to me cause I'm so used to it, but if all if a sudden stress just hit you, then yeah, you can get sick.

Knowing me I would end up throwing it at someone...

Throwing can help relieve stress too.
Stress sucks though; I always get a cold or something from it, and that escalates to something else. I was sick a week ago, but I got better without missing more than a day of school...Hope you feel better.
