Manifesting sickness?

Every morning at 6:00 AM, I just can't bring myself to get out of bed. Honestly, the mere thought of facing my coworkers kills my motivation instantly... I’d much rather stay tucked under the covers, and... well, everything else—I just don't have the energy for any of it.
By the next day, I'm inevitably "sick." It always starts that same way—a sore throat, a runny nose, or suddenly running a fever.
Back when I was a junior in high school, I barely even showed up to class. Looking back, the worst part of all those "illnesses" was definitely the sinus infections; the rest were just your run-of-the-mill colds.
I really did feel sick, though. I felt weak, lethargic, and usually had a fever, but deep down, I think I was aware that I was subconsciously doing this to myself. My boyfriend at the time was doing the exact same thing, and we’d spend most of our days just glued to our phones together.
Does this happen to any of you, and how does it actually work psychologically?

Seriously, if I tell myself five times in a row that my head hurts, it actually starts throbbing. That’s why I stopped doing that crap.

I wasn't suggesting that you were implying I'm sick... it's just that, I don't know, everyone at the office has started getting on my last nerve lately, and honestly, I just can't face sitting there. So, I end up catching a cold and having to stay home in bed, and then someone always steps up to make me some tea or soup and looks after me... It's actually quite nice to just rest for a few days, and then I get back to it.

Aha, I used to be able to trigger my own bouts of bronchitis when I was little. If we were supposed to head out early the next morning—say, to visit my grandmother or go somewhere I really didn't feel like going—I’d start wheezing instantly, almost enough to end up in the ER. It isn't actually surprising given the chronic bronchitis; those flare-ups are often triggered by psychological stuff, you know? Like excitement or stress... But catching a full-blown cold just from being stubborn? Now, that’s a first for me. 🙂

It’s actually happening to me right now... this Friday!

Does anyone happen to know where I could get my hands on some salmonella? Honestly, I think it might be just the thing to help me drop a few pounds.

🙂 🙂 🙂 honestly, me too!!!!

I once spent some time working at a company where the office politics were just completely broken. It was a disaster zone; you could practically see the stress hanging in the air like smog. Eventually, things got so toxic I couldn't take it anymore. Every single night after I got home from work, I’d start running a fever north of 102 degrees. (Mind you, I almost never get sick. Even when I have a brutal flu, I can usually just power through it without a fever.) So, the first time it happened after a shift, I stayed home the next day, and by the following morning, I felt perfectly fine. Then I went back to work, and boom—the fever returned. I stayed home again, and it was the same story. On Friday, I actually made it through the workday without a single symptom. I thought I was finally over it, until Monday evening hit and there it was again. I did a thousand different tests, ran every diagnostic under the sun, and everything came back spotless. For an entire month, I bounced from specialist to specialist, feeling physically healthy but unable to work. And then, the moment I prepared to head back to that office? Right on schedule, the fever returned that evening. The only logical conclusion was that my body was reacting to the sheer stress of that environment. I ended up taking a month of medical leave, jumped ship for a new company, and the fever vanished instantly, like it never even existed.

There is an excellent book by Louise Hay titled You Can Heal Your Life. It outlines how individuals, whether consciously or unconsciously, manifest their own illnesses—it even provides a list of ailments alongside the specific thoughts, beliefs, or events that might trigger them. If I recall correctly, this was discussed in the health section previously, though it certainly sparked some heated debates.
According to Louise Hay, our negative thoughts, emotions, and belief systems generate various diseases and unfortunate circumstances through their energy; consequently, the primary remedy involves positive thinking and the deliberate selection of a positive environment. Of course, such a concept is somewhat oversimplified.

The core argument is that we actually possess far more agency than we realize—this power resides within our minds and is dictated by how we choose to employ it. By becoming aware of this capability and utilizing our thoughts as a functional tool (since thoughts, words, and actions all carry their own distinct energy), we can improve our lives in myriad ways and achieve true liberation.

Consider, for instance, what someone mentioned earlier regarding how repeating "I have a headache" five times can actually cause it to happen; if one were to instead tell themselves "I feel great" twenty times every morning and evening, they would likely see tangible results within a month.

Norris said:All those negative thoughts, feelings, and beliefs actually manifest physical illnesses and bad luck through your own energy. Apparently, the only way out is positive thinking, being mindful about who you hang out with, and stuff like that.

I mean, I couldn't agree more. I honestly know exactly why and how I get sick every single time I reach my breaking point with the people around me, or even just when I'm exhausted. I guess I'm curious if anyone else feels this way—not even just feeling it, but actually being conscious of the principle behind it.
I look at these women around me—mothers and wives spending eight hours a day stuck in some office, then spending the rest of their lives in this sort of domestic limbo with husbands they haven't had a real conversation with in years. Every single one of them is constantly unwell. They’re always running to the doctor, and they actually brag about it (seriously, they boast!) about their medical issues. You know the drill once the conversation starts: "Oh, I had kidney stones," or "I had surgery," or "They had to clear my sinus passages and I couldn't do a single thing for two weeks..." Good grief! But I suppose that's the only thing they have to talk about. I don't really get why, but that seems to be the reality.

You’ve made a valid observation. However, when you fall ill simply because they are getting under your skin, that is merely your reaction to your environment. In such an instance, your surroundings are the ones dictating your state of being, whereas the true objective should be to govern your own life through positive thought, rather than being governed by the world around you.

Norris said:You’ve got a point there. But honestly, if you're getting physically sick just because people are getting on your nerves, that’s your own reaction to what's happening around you. In that scenario, your environment is essentially calling the shots, and that's the problem. The whole idea is to use positive thinking to take control of your own life, not let everything else dictate how you feel.

noticed.
The way you're describing this sounds a bit like some kind of magic trick, maybe? Just without all the actual rituals. (Look, I'm no expert, so take that with a grain of salt!)

Does that sound like magic to you? I am simply suggesting that if you possess the capacity to manifest something negative—which you claim to be able to do—then logically, you hold that same power to manifest something positive. Perhaps you should attempt to read that book; it is readily available for purchase both here in the States and in English.

Look, popcorn, I’m not saying I can’t do it. I’m just asking if anyone else actually does.

Norris said:I believe this was actually discussed in the wellness section once... though it certainly stirred up quite a storm.

The very next day, I’m inevitably sick. It’s always the same pattern: a sore throat, a runny nose, maybe even a fever.

I genuinely felt unwell—mostly just lethargic and feverish—but deep down, I knew I was basically manifesting it myself. My boyfriend at the time used to do the exact same thing, and we’d spend most of our days just hanging out on the phone.
Does this happen to any of you, and how does that process actually work?

By the way, I seem to be dealing with a cold about 365 days a year.
Whenever people ask if it's a cold or just allergies, I tell them I honestly can't tell the difference anymore... 😁
Though, I haven't really dealt with a fever in quite a while.

THANKS!!

Looking at all these women around me, mothers and wives spending eight hours a day stuck in some office, then just drifting through a half-life at home with husbands they haven't had a real conversation with in years. They're all sick. Always at the doctor, always bragging (they actually brag!) about their ailments. You know the drill... once they start talking, it's all "I had gallstones," "I had surgery," "they had to clear my sinuses, I couldn't do a damn thing for two weeks..." God help us. But that's basically all they care about. Don't know why, but that's just how it is.

Same story here
know exactly what you mean 😢
had this whole mess with my boss and things just boiled over after my 500th unpaid hour of overtime, blah blah blah...
get home, check my temp, and yeah...
by morning my throat was so swollen I couldn't even swallow. It was a total
disaster
it was a Friday, felt like I'd been hit by a truck, then the weekend rolls around and I'm fine again 😕 .....

Excerpt from a book.

...Did you know that the activity of Consciousness actually generates Thought?
And did you know that Thought is potential—meaning a Thought possesses the power to act as a Force?
Furthermore, this Force of Thought, when carrying any value characteristic of matter, isn't reflected through our known physical senses; instead, it manifests as a latent (hidden) Thought.

It seems to me that researchers of energy have overlooked this entirely. Because of that, they mystify many natural phenomena tied to latency—like levitation, telekinesis, telepathy, or clairvoyance—and force them into the realm of the occult.
Of course, these researchers also forget that the human Force of Thought isn't quite powerful enough to achieve levitation or telekinesis (except in extremely rare cases).
But can you imagine the latent Power of Nature acting in unison with The Creator to bring everything within Nature into existence?

Since some readers might not be familiar with the term "latent," I'll provide an example to help make it clear.
If heat (which is a form of energy) acts upon a block of ice, the ice will melt, yet its temperature won't rise; it stays constant until the melting process is finished.
Do you see how vital that point is?
Essentially, even though the heat is present within the ice, it doesn't show its presence outwardly during that phase.

After hearing that, can you realize how important it is for a person NOT to dwell on illness? Because, MARK MY WORDS, Thought possesses a LATENT, or HIDDEN, POWER.

That’s why we need to pay attention to latency. Many illnesses are self-imposed by a person dwelling on having a "specific disease" that has attacked a "specific organ."

By thinking constantly about it, a person creates a MEMORY within specific cells, which over time becomes a resultant force... a force that FORCES certain cells in the body to succumb to that "specific disease."

I hadn't given illness a single thought, let alone considered it, yet there I was—getting hit by it consistently right after work, even if I had to clock in again tomorrow.
