Does depression make you physically cold?

[UselessBeing]

Im sorry if this sounds insanely stupid. I live the dessert and its been insanely hot. But I've been FREEZING.

I've really gone down mentally lately and I'm getting closer and more content with the fact I'm ready to CTB soon (butbya know fuckin SI ) Everyone around me is struggling with the heat and needing the cold air on while I'm literally shaking from being cold.

Am I just dumb thinking my mental state could be casuing this?

It's very likely to be a psychosomatic symptom of being depressed. I get headaches frequently and have low energy.

I know anxiety could probably do that if you suffer from that too. Possibly depression, I'm not sure. Our mental state certainly has an effect on our bodies.

Im sorry you have to go through that. Uhg I get so angry at all the things mental illness can do to you physically.

Aah thank you for the info. I do have anxiety and it has been at its highest this week.

Opposite, my hands sweat every 5 seconds even when I turn on the fan. Maybe because I explode at every little adversity.

Opposite for me. Temperature here is cold and I'm wearing a T-shirt lol

You don't sound stupid or dumb. Many people with issues like depression, anxiety, etc feel too cold (or too hot) like you described.

You are not stupid, depression makes such jokes

It's not stupid. Our endocrine system (hormones) are dominant throughout the body. Emotions can trigger hormonal releases triggering digestive, metabolic, circulatory and more imbalances. As well as, hormonal imbalance can destructure emotions.
