Re: Physical illness from mental/emotional stimuli

[tei]

I'm a musician and when I was younger/less experienced with dealing with performance anxiety I fainted onstage once. I also know people who vomited before performances in their youths. Massive doses of adrenaline can definitely fuck you up, and if you don't understand that what's happening to your body is normal it can create a vicious cycle of feeling ill/freaking out about feeling ill/ feeling worse and hyperventilating because you're freaking out etc. The good news is, it's possible to practice and get better at dealing with it, and there's an entire domain of sports psychology dedicated to teaching people how to control their physical responses to emotional stimulus.

Also, in the kind of historical fiction where ladies faint at the drop of a hat, it's likely that that would have actually happened irl because they were wearing really tight corsets and thus delicate and prone to shallow breathing anyway.
