I have had a lot of stress over the past month and increased stress in the past week. About three months ago I discovered that I was gay. About a month ago, my first gf and my fist love broke up with me, and I am still in love with her and missing her greatly. Two days ago I was in a minor accident with one of my friends. Through that these past few days I have had several serious, strained, and stressful conversations with my girlfriend. I went to bed last night with a very slightly sore throat and feeling rather groggy. This was partially due to having slept only 45 minutes the night before that after the accident. I woke up with this morning with a raspy voice that gets better after I talk for a while, but still remains hoarse. I need to constantly keep my throat wet or it feels like I have dust in my throat and my tongue feels "dry". I also have pain write above my neck in the lower part of my head and in my shoulders. The shoulder pain I believe is partially from the wreck, because I had problems with that before all the rest. I was wondering, this is probably a stress-induced sickness, especially because I don't feel "sick", I just have isolated symptoms. Is it stress-related, and if so how should I go about treating it?
