Help Can you get in the hospital from stress ?

[lovelulu]

Can you get in the hospital from extreme stress? Or even die? Soon Im starting something that will most definitely give me a lot of stress—but I want something good that comes from that stress. It sounds weird, but if im willingly going to stress myself out, I'd be happy at the thought that I could potentially go to the hospital for it.

Stress can cause lots of different ailments, yes. But that doesn't necessarily mean it will, just that it can. I've been under massive amounts of stress my whole life and the most physical it's gotten was my POTS symptoms worsening (doctors don't gaf about it) and cutting. What stressful thing are you starting?

While you can admit yourself into a hospital for literally no reason at all I wouldn't recommend it at all. Hospitals are under-staffed and flooded with people, thus wait times for others who may be in genuine need. I'd recommend getting care from anywhere else that doesn't serve possible life-threatening emergencies.

What's the goal here? Getting into a hospital?

I've been forced in by my therapist just for suicidal ideation before so that would make more sense than going in just for stress.
