    Feeling low and terrible stomach

    I have just found this site it has made me feel a little better I cannot go to doctor, don't want to, embarrassed I guess.

    I have a feeling of constant butterflies in my tummy every thing I do is a big chore and I at times get real black thoughts about myself,health mainly about what is happening to my body.

    My social life and wokl life is beginning to suffer I have been like this for a year or so I want ot to stop have read about bach remedies do these work I wonder typing this message has helped.

    hiya, I know how you feel, I kept my probs to myself for 4-5 years before telling my parents last year cos I just couldn't cope with it myself. I've been to the doc a few times and it has helped a wee bit but I've learned we can only fight this ourselves, I am being sent for cbt so hope that helps. This site is fantastic, everyone is helpful and friendly as we're all in the same boat, try and see your doc and he'll be able to help you, it's a more common problem than you think, rois

    Hi,
    First welcome to the forum, you will get a lot of good advice here and make some good friends.
    Is there a reason that you feel that you cant got to the doctors, they can really help, referring you for councelling or anxiety management courses etc, it doesn't have to be medication, although this does help too.
    Take care

    Hi Westyjim

    Welcome to the forum. You are definitely not alone in this and by reading some of the other posts here hopefully this will help you to realise there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

    Also have a read of the First Steps and Health Anxiety articles.

    Hi
    I'm sorry you're having such a rough time. I know how much something as supposedly small as an upset stomach can turn into a nightmare. I had a stomach virus hit me a couple of years ago which helped trigger horrendous panic attacks - so bad I lost 30 pounds in a month. It was a terrible time, as I'm sure you can understand, BUT - after taking care of myself, finding a good counselor who helped me thru some issues that I had been stuffing inside, and with the wonderful people on this site - it got much better!

    I'm not sure of your issues with seeing a GP, but one of the most important things for me was to find out that, indeed, all of the twinges, palpitations, tingles, and other wierd symptoms were but a product of stress. For me, that was a breakthrough, but it took a while before I finally believed it!

    Find a friend, here on the site, where you live, or whatever, but try to find if there is anything you are stuffing inside, and get it out. That was the big one for me. I remember on my very first post here, I prattled on about how wonderful my life was, so why was this happening to me?

    Well, I was lying to myself, because it wasn't all that wonderful, and living a lie will absolutely drive you crazy. It did me. Try as much as you are able to be totally honest with yourself. It can be unbelievably hard, but the benefits are so worth it.

    Stay in touch with the folks here. Although few remain from when I had my terrible time, the ones that are here now are just as wonderful and caring.

    Good luck, and hang in there!
