Differentiating between psychological and physiological

Beefree

Hi

Just wondered if anyone else has difficulty working out which are physiological feelings and which are psychological feelings? For example I might have a headache but don't realise it and just think I am in an angry mood. Only when someone who knows me well points it out that I might have a headache and I take some ibuprofen and it goes away (and the anger subsides) do I realise it was a headache. Also vice versa when I am anxious I sometimes interpret this as having a cold or some sort of virus as it makes me feel lethargic and I ache. Only when I realise the trigger for it and the anxiety passes do I realise it was anxiety....

This inability in its self stressed me out as I never really know what is wrong until afterwards.

    I do, but I find it very hard to develop systems to help myself. Generally find it much easier to find someone with similar problems, find a way that helps them and transfer it to myself. This originated in helping a friend's girlfriend if I recall, self care was not her strong point for other reasons and I often took her through similar checklists.
