Yes, I've read about physical symptoms. I don't tend to get those directly, but indirectly I'm more sensitive to the physical conditions I have, such as chronic knee pain. I also feel a kind of heaviness in my chest and feel as though my throat is closing. It's not pain but it is related to depression.
One thing my shrink has been saying over and over is to hold on and he constantly reminds me that I'm doing the best that I can. That's reassuring because of course it doesn't feel that way, but it is nice to hear from someone outside that it looks that way to them.
