I am so cold

[excited30]

Since having our divorce talk yesterday morning I have been cold.  I think my heart is just in shock.  Is that possible?  I just feel cold through and through along with the deep deep grief of sadness.  Has anyone else experienced this?  My body feels like it's physically in trauma

Its the body's fight or flight response. It shuttles blood more to your vital organs to ensure you stay alive so you feel cold more easily. I get it a lot any time I'm anxious. Hang in there.

I'm always cold because of a medical condition. It gets worse with stress and anxiety because, like fuckstick said, your body is preserving your organs. Take a bath and drink some red wine if you drink (but not too much). The body does physically respond to stress and it's normal to feel like this. A bath or wine may help relax you and will definitely warm you up - red wine is a vasodilator which can help open the blood vessels and get things moving. Some exercise like a brisk walk around the block can help loosen you up and feel better. Oh, and hugs, big hugs help

I'm sorry. I don't have any other advice but hang in there!

Thanks ladies for your advice. It being the bodies fight or flight response makes complete sense. I have raynauds phenomenon too, so possibly that's making it worse. I am still cold today, but not as bad as yesterday. Even a warm bath didn't take it away... but I'm encouraged, because it's improving a bit today. Last night I slept in my pj's with woolen socks, slippers on, and my hoody over top of my clothes under my blanket. I was still not warm.
