can negative energy make a person physically sick? Is there a way to help this person to get better, she lost her feel for eating, losing weight, in pain, fevers? She’s been to several doctors and they can’t explain it or help her. She lives in the same house where she was abused but the guy is gone. If you have ideas I appreciate it very much, thank you.

If you remain where strong negative vibes are could you get sick?

She is probably depressed and traumatized - she needs to consult a therapist.
Thank you @KaliMonsterr I know she probably is but she did go through therapy. But this happen like 3 yrs ago. And she’s divorcing him. I’m sorry if I did write it right. When something so negative happens in the house does it stay there and fester. Making the person sick?
@Crazy2823 I think the negativity can affect the mental health, which yes, if your mental health goes unchecked it can make you sick.
@KaliMonsterr you think a house cleansing would help her a little? I believe in negative dark shadows that remain When something happens so terrible.
Lots of scrambled thoughts on this, but I'll try to separate the wheat from the chaff...
1) Some people benefit from a few therapy sessions... and some need years of sessions. If she is "done" with therapy, it may simply be that she really isn't and needs to continue (possibly with a different therapist). Unfortunately, if insurance is involved, she may have to pay out of pocket if the insurer's flowcharts and spreadsheets say she's "done" now.
2) It's a well-established fact that stress has a negative effect on health. 2020 has been an absolute dumpster fire of a year, with no sign of it abating -- and that's on top of what the person you're speaking about is already dealing with. This is something a degreed & certified professional needs to help with, but therapy and/or medicine and/or certain practices (e.g., meditation, long walks outside, etc.) can help lower her stress levels and thus help her regain her health.
3) As chaotic as packing & moving often are, it may behoove her to physically remove herself from the environment she associates (even if just subconsciously) with the abuse -- staying there may be contributing to her stress & anxiety.
4) The person in question needs to hear, over & over, again & again, that she is not at fault and that any stress, anxiety, negativity, etc. she is feeling is a perfectly normal, appropriate, and understandable reaction. Not just from a therapist or other medical professional... but also (maybe even more importantly) from family and friends.
5) The person in question also needs to be very clear on the fact that there is absolutely nothing wrong in needing or getting help. We all spend so much time hearing about having to "man up/woman up" and stand on our own two feet that it's easy to lose the ability to ask for or accept help without feeling shame. There is no shame in asking for help when it is needed. There is no shame in accepting help when it is needed. She -- and everyone who is talking to her -- must be absolutely clear on that.
6) I want to repeat this point because it's so doggone important: Professional help dealing with the situation and its fallout is a must. Once she feels she can stand on her own two feet without falling over or imploding, okay -- but until then, it's a clear case of "no man is an island" and she needs some help staying upright until some of the weight on her shoulders has been lessened.
Best of luck to her (and you). :-)
