In a vicious health OCD cycle š
I cannot seem to stop the cycle and Iām questioning how much longer I can manage like this. I keep having a symptom, or so I think. Itās not super consistent, and when Iāve gone to the doctor to explain it, I feel like a crazy person. Its sharpish, tingling pains in my stomach that do seem to be more present when Iām stressing and hyper fixating on them. But sometimes just pop up on their own. I wonāt notice it for a few days, and then Iāll feel a twinge in my stomach and absolutely have a freak out over it thinking itās some stage 4 something. Iāve stopped wearing certain clothes and working out because Iām afraid of ātriggeringā it. I feel like I canāt even distinguish between whatās real and whatās not anymore. How will I ever know when to actually go to the doctor for something if i donāt know that what Iām feeling is even real? Has this happened to anyone else?
