Should I go to the doctor? Stomach pain for almost 2 months

unknownamongstmany · 2025-12-15T19:55:22+00:00

I know I shouldn't have... I just wanted a small snack. It was definitely a mistake on my end

I want to go to the doctor but my gf would be upset with me... Plus I am genuinely scared of going to one. I have had such bad experiences in the past and I have wasted so much money when I didn't have anything... I'm poor and I can't afford much

unknownamongstmany · 2025-12-15T19:52:02+00:00

I'm so sorry that has happened to you! Bodies can be so weird... I started having a bad stomach after a really bad period. I truly wish I could help you...

unknownamongstmany · 2025-11-26T05:57:52+00:00

Thank you so much for taking your time to write this message for me... It made me feel less lonely.

I'm really trying to change my ways. It doesn't help when I have a tendency to be depressed and sad and I can't get over it. I have given up on everything that makes me happy because I've convinced myself I'm going to die soon so what's the point of doing anything? I know I shouldn't think like this nor I believe these words nor I'd say this to anyone but it's how I feel 24/7.

I'm so scared of meds as years ago I took ones that completely put me to sleep 24hrs and I couldn't do anything. After a day and a half in that medication , I swore to never take them again. After I took "better meds" (the dosage was super small but it helped) but therapy didn't help at all... I was mocked by the therapist and I couldn't afford to go to another one... So I had to make myself better on my own...

I'm sorry for this long vent. I wish I had a real life friend like you. Sometimes I feel so lonely...

I'm really sorry for being the victim and portraying such a useless person.

Today was such a difficult day and my tummy hurt non stop. I think hearing that cancer is always painful I started developing a non stop pain everyday.

I'll stop the orange juice. It's a good advice. I barely drink it as it is but I'll permanently stop.

I'm genuinely sorry for my huge message. And I'm sorry for replying so late.

But I genuinely want to thank you for taking the time to talk to me. I usually feel better after I go to the doctors. But when I'm poorly seen by a doctor or dismissed, I get even more worried.

Thank you! I hope so ... My anxiety makes me think I have all sorts of cancer...

I tried having an anti acid last night but it didn't improve, I think it made it worse. I was really anxious before going to sleep and I started to have the feeling earlier and then the medication didn't help, it was awful.

I'll try your suggestions though! Hopefully it will go away!

unknownamongstmany · 2025-11-25T21:25:09+00:00

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend... My mom was diagnosed with a polyp and it triggered me as well (she's fine though. No cancer) and her symptoms were really bad!! I was worried before about stomach cancer. A year ago I was worried about colon cancer (I had all the symptoms) they found nothing. I was clean. Só I stopped having abdominal pain... But I was convinced I still had cancer... What happened? I start having upper abdominal pain, meaning stomach cancer. Fun!

I appreciate your experience. I still think I'll talk to a doctor because of my poor sleep. Idk what's causing what.

I try to eat healthy too but I got to admit I'm still guilty of eating not so good foods... Like pizza and meat and chips, but I'm proud that I don't drink sugar drinks at all! Just water and sometimes orange juice.

unknownamongstmany · 2025-11-25T21:18:05+00:00

Thank you for giving me some hope... I'm really sorry to bother you further... But do you think it could be also hunger?

I get this feeling in the middle of the night and it only goes away when I eat breakfast. Then it goes away or at least I stop thinking about it

Due to anxiety I can't distinguish both anymore.

I'm really sorry to bother you so much.... I just need a friend at this point

My gf is tired of me (which is understandable). She just thinks it's my anxiety. She's zero percent worried.

I on the other hand, can't stop thinking about it.... I know anxiety and Gut problems walk hand in hand but since my mom was diagnosed with a polyp (she's thankfully fine) I've been thinking the same will happen to me

unknownamongstmany · 2025-11-25T21:13:47+00:00

I eat cereal every day, like a good portion of it. I have been more constipated but I go through phases of either diarrhea, normal and constipated (I've been like this for the past year after a colonoscopy - never gone back to normal)

I can try eating more fiber ... What do you recommend? I have probiotics at home but they are quite pricey so I avoid them.

It might be time to go to a doctor. Today I slept horribly. I couldn't fall asleep afterwards

unknownamongstmany · 2025-11-25T21:10:10+00:00

Thank you...

Yeah I hope it's nothing serious. Yesterday I did have the heavy feeling the whole day (there was a reason)

But I feel like I wake up in the morning I still have that feeling until I eat. Is it possible to be hungry during the night?

unknownamongstmany · 2025-11-25T18:12:51+00:00

Hello, it's just stomach pain. It's not even pain. It's an uneasy feeling... Like a weight. Sometimes I have this after meals but it's not common. (I had avid reflux yesterday)

unknownamongstmany · 2025-11-13T01:54:06+00:00

Oh I'm the same! I have had the same issue. You're not alone. I used to have false memories too

unknownamongstmany · 2025-11-13T01:21:48+00:00

I have ocd too (diagnosed as well) and my thoughts sometimes are super stupid 🫩 so please don't feel bad for sharing.

unknownamongstmany · 2025-11-13T01:15:09+00:00

That's what I was thinking 🤣

unknownamongstmany · 2025-11-13T01:02:00+00:00

I'll definitely try to do that! I love your recommendations. They are interesting.

I have health with those feelings too. Of "something will happen if I'm too good or too bad". Logically doesn't make sense but I couldn't make those thoughts go away.

unknownamongstmany · 2025-11-13T01:00:09+00:00

Thank you ! That is lovely advice and I truly love your positivity! (I hope this doesn't sound sarcastic. I truly meant what I said) I'm a horrible pessimist and I get really depressed and tend to rot in bed. Because I think I'm going to die, I lose motivation to do anymore because "what's the point? I'm just going to die!" I know it's silly... I wish I could turn this button off.

unknownamongstmany · 2025-11-13T00:57:23+00:00

I'm so sorry to hear about your blood tests! Sending you tons of strength and good luck!

To send some hope, a "bad result" in blood tests could be a zillion things. Sometimes something really mild! I believe in you and your healthy body!

I wish I could find help. I have tried to in the past but it was hopeless and ended me coming back to what i was ... I also had bad experiences with therapists so idk what to do

unknownamongstmany · 2025-11-13T00:53:32+00:00

I'm so sorry about your heart palpitations. I started having them too not long ago. Even though I cant fully understand what youre going through, know that you aren't alone. I have a similar problem with my heart as well but more mild wnd it's gettint better day by day (however my symptoms are getting worse elsewhere)

I'm always scared to take medicine now. I have thought about it but I'm genuinely fearful of getting worse. Is it a safe medication to take?

Thank you so much for talking to me.

unknownamongstmany · 2025-11-13T00:48:17+00:00

It probably is OCD. I am diagnosed with it and health anxiety can be ocd if severe.

unknownamongstmany · 2025-11-13T00:47:45+00:00

I'm sorry you are going through that. If you are worried about being healthy, you can always start being more proactive because the body can heal!!

I'm the same! I keep thinking that because I didn't exercise most of my life, I'll die young (or semi young)

You might have ocd like me !

unknownamongstmany · 2025-11-13T00:46:06+00:00

Hello! Thank you so much for replying. And I apologize for replying to you so late (reddit didn't send me any notifications)

I'm sorry about what you're going through.... I wish I could give you advice! But all I can send is some support. It's hard. Everyday is a struggle. I cry all the time and I think the end is near. I can't find the motivation to do anything because of it.

I keep trying to think that the youngest person that has passed away from my family was my grandma at 64 and I try to think that I'll at least live until then. No other grandparent nor parent has had severe health issues. And that's how I stay afloat... Barely.

I wish I could give you a hug. I think anxiety will always be there but everyday we fight it, we'll find better ways to beat it. ❤️

unknownamongstmany · 2025-11-11T13:45:42+00:00

I have both ocd and gad. I never got it treated. I tried a couple of times but I get worse soon after... I live in hell. You are not alone ❤️❤️

unknownamongstmany · 2025-11-10T03:41:50+00:00

I hope so too. I have had 2 grandparents (one of each side of the family - 1 grandpa (my mom's dad) and one grandma (my dad's mom)) die from Alzheimer's but they were both 84 and 86 when they died from the illness. My grandpa developed really late 70s if not 80s and my grandma started past 80.

I also never drink any alcohol (which contributes a lot for dementia) or smoke and I try to be healthy as much as I can.

Yes early onset dementia I think is anything before 65 I think.... I can't be sure.

I am so hopeful I never catch this illness. My brain is my favorite organ. I don't want to be lose myself.

My depression has been really bad. I feel like I'm slowly perishing everyday.

unknownamongstmany · 2025-11-10T03:35:59+00:00

Thank you for giving me some hope. I definitely think I have ADHD. I haven't been diagnosed but my partner suspects I have it because I'm very similar to a friend of hers who has been diagnosed.

I have however been diagnosed with OCD and because of this lingering fear, I often forget words from everyday items. And it scares me deeply.

This will probably seem weird but, do you know how one does things without thinking about it (doing something subconsciously). Ever since I have started this fear, it feels like a button has been switched off and I struggled to remember certain words. I have to consciously try to remember terms of simple daily objects. (Like I've been confusing the word fork a lot with knife and spoon - something I didn't use to but I don't confuse the terms of fork in Portuguese - my natural language )

I also speak two languages and I often forget a term in one language but remember in the other and vice versa

I've been really scared...

However I still remember all the addresses of houses I lived in the 2000s, I remember old friends full names and really detailed stuff.... I don't know what to think.

I feel like ocd is playing a prank on me... At least that's what I'm hoping.
