Emotional health problems are equally dangerous as the physical ones. To be emotionally stable is the key for healthy living.
A lot of things happen in our lives that cause serious emotional health problems. People handle things differently, but when it comes to emotional pain, we’re all the same. We’re human, we suffer, and there’s nothing we can do to change that. There are a lot of reasons that hurt us deeply. Some of these include:
- Getting fired
- Being left from the person you love
- Your loved one is deathly ill or have died
- Money problems
- Family problems
- Having a baby
- Divorce
… and of course, a lot of other reasons which might have a different impact on different people. For all of these reasons, our physical health might be affected too. Some physical problems that might appear are:
- Appetite loss
- Pain in your back and belly
- Diarrhea
- Horrible headaches
- Falling asleep is harder than ever
- No desire for sexual intercourse
- Problems with your blood pressure (either too high or too low)
- Weight gain
- Weight loss
- Tiredness
… and again, a lot more. These health problems, in addition, can cause even worse emotional or physical problems. That’s why, being aware of your problems and having a good emotional health is very important.
