I didn’t mean physical like flu but sometimes certain physical imbalance or deficiency could be combined with emotional and cause problems or one feel like another. Like mitral valve prolapse feels like mild anxiety attack sometimes , but it’s not, but if let’s say you are anxious AND have a prolapse then it’s really a combination when you don’t know what’s what.
But I understand it’s not physical for you. Emotional could be confusing too. I once described some feelings I had in the past to my therapist and she said it could be that I was depressed. I didn’t feel depressed and I don’t ever feel depressed, I never really feel down. But my t said sometimes depression manifests itself in weird ways. You don’t have to feel down to have some moments of depression hmm
Then once I had extreme stress and for 3 months I felt how people describe manic. It was only once in my life and I do not bipolar disorder. My t again said that extreme stress could cause feelings similar to mania. Boy it’s confusing.
Bottom line you are overwhelmed. Stressed. Feelings are all over the place. Take care of yourself. Be gentle and give yourself time to rests and relax. Do something for yourself.
Hope you feel better soon
