Image not quite for ADHPeeps but I feel this sort of thing happens regularly for us as well.

placebo is one hell of a uh not drug!

i noticed that sometimes when i have something important coming up, and i start feeling ill, i can just, force myself to stop? Literally tell myself "nuhuh, we're not getting ill right now, that's not the time" and it works? well not always, but more than it should

That might actually be cortisol released by a stress response. Do you tend to get sick a couple of days later when "there's time"?

sometimes! other times it goes away entirely. I vividly remember the first time it happened, it was the first day of vacation at my great grandmother's place. i started feeling ill but got so mad at that fact i woke up the next day feeling healthy again, and got to enjoy my vacation fully :)

Nice! That's a great sign of how our mind can control our body. Something that we biomedics sometimes struggle with, in our eternal search for pathways.

I often had this when I had to study for exams. I was so stressed that I didn't allow myself to get sick, and once the last exam was done, the stress level fell and I got so sick.
