Taylor, after 1 and a half mojito :

if you’re so stressed that you’re puking your guts up every morning, are unable to eat or keep anything down, you can’t look at light without feeling infinitely worse and feel exhausted and in pain all the time (or whatever your particular stress induced symptom set is) you’re not just feeling like that because you’ve willed it into being. your body is begging for relief from the constant barrage of stress hormones and it requires the fundamental source of stress to go away, not just distracting yourself from the symptoms

i am reminded of the tumblr post by the person with an ovarian cyst who kept ignoring their pain until they suddenly went blind, and remained that way until the pain was treated.
