In reply to anyone have somatic symptoms?, posted by floatingbridge on March 9, 2010, at 17:48:29
Anxiety feels awful. Do you practice relaxation techniques? Is there any special pressure in your life right now or is it that awful free floating anxiety?
I'm never entirely sure what falls under somatic complaints. I get migraines and irritable bowel syndrome. I can start itching, and start scratching, and have it turn into a nervous rash. I get various aches and pains that go away as mysteriously as they came. I often feel unwell. So I think I'd generally say yes. But then sometimes what I read about somaticism seems more specific, then I wonder.
