HSC making you sick? (1 Viewer)

[annarose]

So far, I've gained three kilograms, developed ecsma (sp?) and my hair is falling out.

*conversation with doctor*

AR: So why do I have ecsma?
Doc: From stress.
AR: But I'm not stressed...
Doc: You are year twelve, yes?
AR: Yes...
Doc: Trust me, you're stressed...

*end conversation with doctor*

Does anyone else have stuff wrong with them that has been associated with the hsc? And DO YOU AGREE?

(btw- The weight gain I can account for- the Mcdonald's near my school and the aquisition of a drivers license could possibly maybe have something to do with it)

owch. are you alright ?
lmaos i`ve gone down on the scales , but ive been having more frequent headaches .. which are annoying lol.
oh and lack of sleep

 

[Loza33]

I havent had a good proper nights sleep in so long..... im so tired and stressed that i feel like i could cry at any moment... i just have to hold it back constantly...

broken foot - well it was on an hsc school excursion... hAHAHA

 

[annarose]

I have ecsma cream so it's all good... bit gross though.
The hair discombobulates me... but I do have an extraordinarily large amount of it on my head naturally, so hopefully it'll fall out until it's normal and then stop :- P

 

[xxmissy]

yeh headaches, exhaustion and a lack of sleep, sometimes even when i try sleeping it doesnt work and may i add a very screwed and unbalanced diet and an overdose of multivitamins and panadol...ooo and also an addiction to macdonalds and GJs:mad1:

Hey,
When i started the acutal year 12 part of my hsc i was diagnosed with glandural fever. I was a little stressed but i didn't think it was too bad.
It ended up keeping me out of school for 4 weeks and i had constant headaches, rarely slept and was always tired.
The doctor warned me to keep my stress levels down or i would get it back. I still get rather frequent headaches and sometimes don't sleep. So in a way the doctor is right. I learned to keep my stress under control most of the time.
So its not unusual or anything.
Hope thats of any use to you.

hsc is making me have mood swings

 

[Bel_T]

I'm getting white hairs
Oh and, bad exercising + sleeping habits, meaning, no exercise and insomnia

Same on one of my crappy days, usually after getting a crappy result. It's not making me sick all the time but in times of stress i just feel sick all the time.

Eating so much chocolate of late (emotional eating ftw) is, i think leading to a breakout.:mad1:

My friend has eczema, and it's gotten worse this year...

As for me, a few weeks ago i got a virus, followed by a cold, followed by two sties in my eye. Woe. The worst, however, is that i think the stress and lack of sleep from the hsc is giving me some sort of minor OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder..) i mean, it runs in my family - but i think the hsc has brought it out in me. Oh, what fun, what fun. Mental sickness.
Oh well, atleast i'm not depressed.

 

[~untitled~]

Lack of sleep (id die without sleeping pills!), mood swings, and have had a constant cold since the hsc started because of stress!!

 

[-pari-]

remember to take a step back every now and then. youcome before the hsc.

and when you stick to that, you'll see everything falls into place on its own.

i had started giving it all up for the hsc - lack of sleep, screwd up eating patterns you name it, but that doesn't get you anywhere. you focus best when you're regular and consistent. so i'm taking it easy for a while, just so my body doesn't completely give way or something. =]

Near last year's yearlies (or it could've been during the SC... I don't remember ) I developed Eczema. I went to the doctor's, got some cream, and it disappeared.

Luckily I haven't got it since.

 

[cheshirekitty09]

Not so much sick as perpetually tired.

I literally just get home in the afternoon and need to sleep.
So sad...

Not sad

I've been feeling about the same whether the HSC's been on or not, except for more lost nights of sleeping.

My new 11pm bedtime is win. Try it.

Oh .. is eczema caused by stress ?

 

[michelleyeaman]

I have a nice combination of a lack of sleep (I got 10 hours this week. my bad.), moodiness, headaches, stomachaches, weight loss AND gain depending on whether I opt to overeat or undereat and insomnia... I think everyone feels it physically sometimes. I had a nice little burst-into-tears moment at school yesterday. Usually I can contain myself at school but yesterday was bad. My teacher told me I really need to relax and start taking it easy... easy for her to say! Sometimes I feel like I could explode I am that stressed, but only sometimes.

oh yeah me too.
im constantly asleep on the bus to and from school.
and when i get home i go to sleep again.
and i think im putting back on the weight i previously lost [supposedly due to stress but now it seems as though im overeating due to stress so i dont know what to think]
headaches are more frequent [or maybe that's due to the weather??]
and i usually rarely get sick but im also sick more often coz i stay up and do work when the weather is crap so i get less sleep all up and my immune system goes boom crash
and ive become more emotional/mood swing-y/pms-y/irratible/snappy due to the accumulation of all the above factors.
*headache*


and just reading all that crap is giving me another headache GRRRR...
