Can your get Body depression?

[OneGem]

My question is can your body get depressed
Without you even knowing it?
So the last few months I've seen some changes
In my body, getting 4 hours sleep if I'm lucky
And it's broken, not wanting to go out because
I'm so tired, everytime I eat I feel sick.
But the thing is my mind feels okay and
Yes I've had suffered from depression many
Times before, also a few other things. I see
My doctor on a regular basis, but of late it's
Been hard finding the right time. It wasn't until
A few days I thought my body might be depressed,
I started thinking about the stuff that has been
Going on with me for the last few months and I
Remember that I had a major operation about
7 months ago and that's when it all started and
Has gotten worse over time. The reason that
I'm asking here is because I don't want to
Worry family or friends and I find it hard to talk
To them about this stuff because they don't
Really understand it. So my question is can your
Body get depressed without you knowing it???
Thank you to anyone who's taken the time to
Read this, will answer any questions.

I totally think my body has reacted to lack of sleep, not eating properly et Al......yes I believe you when you ask is your body depressed. It's not a nice thing......my brain being depressed was one thing but now the rest of me? Deary me....

Qld health do a great job, however they just let me go knowing I was at the end. Told me where the bus stop was....if t wasn't so sad I'd have a wee chuckle

Hi OneGem

We can be super energetic creatures until one or more of our systems hits an all time low and then, bamm, we can definitely feel that low. You sound very tuned in, very sensitive to specific energetic shifts of your own body.

Figuring out which system or systems are in a low energetic state can take a bit of detective work. Easiest form of medical detective work often involves blood tests. If you haven't had your B12 levels checked yet, I encourage you to get this checked as soon as possible, amongst the other usual suspects (Iron, Thyroid chemistry and so on). Myself, I faced a growing B12 deficiency (without knowing it) following surgery some years back. The symptoms started pretty much straight away for me, after the surgery. Memory issues, was doing some pretty weird stuff like dressing myself with my clothes inside out occasionally (a great look), was having trouble getting off the couch through severe lack of energy and so on. Things hit an all time low when I reached the point of having trouble remembering my sister's name and I was facing the reality of not being able to drive because I was losing my ability to judge distance. Off to the doctors I went. Results prompted my GP to say 'I can believe you're still standing!' By the way, I love research and it wasn't long before I started researching B12 deficiency quite extensively. I was shocked: One of the things that is known to strip the body of a significant amount of B12 is nitrious oxide (sometimes used as an accompaniment in general anesthetic). It has been suggested that people who experience B12 deficiency should have a blood test before a surgery and after, so as to monitor levels effectively and responsibly.

OneGem, with you being a very sensitive person when it comes to sensing the shifts in your own body, don't let any doctor tell you there's nothing wrong. Trust that you're picking up on something your body's trying to tell you. The body is an incredibly intelligent thing. I actually told a few medical folk that I wasn't feeling my natural self over the weeks that followed surgery but they pretty much just brushed it off until levels got seriously low and a GP ran some tests.

Hope you find some answers soon. Take care and trust in your self 🙂
