Sharp stomach pain

4 Replies

So um, I’m not sure if it’s a big deal, but whenever I feel a bit worried or stressed or whatever, I get this sharp pain in my stomach. It feels like something poking me hard, it goes away for a bit and comes back and whenever I feel real frustrated it gets worse. I have it now. The sharp pain was there before, I told my mom, she said just to wait and see if it comes back in like several days or whatever, it didn’t for a long time, but now due to my mom’s health situation, it’s back and I don’t know whether or not to tell my parents. They tend to get emotionally overbearing and I have some strong feelings about things being “wrong” with me due to ADHD and stuff. I will talk about this with my therapist, but I am a bit concerned, I feel fine otherwise though. And whenever I don’t obsess about it or calm myself down, I think it dies down for awhile so I suspect it’s a stress thing, but when I googled it there was all this stuff about these big health conditions. Soo..I don’t really know what to do.

Hello :-)

First don't Google things as tempting as it is , I always say 3 clicks on Google and it will have you having the worst scenario you can think of so better staying of there :-)

It very much sounds like it is possibly an anxiety thing as when you are not thinking about it then it tends to go away

I know you say your parents can be overbearing , and have to say lost are it is not just yours but as a parent we worry and we don't mean to be this way we just want to make sure you are ok , but maybe it would be a good idea to put up with their overbearing way and ask them if they could possible support you having a Doctors appointment just to put your mind at ease , you could also ask them if they could try not to be to overbearing over it even though you know they care as this makes you feel worse

It is a good idea to talk with your therapist but anything physical if we are worried only our Doctor can reassure us everything is ok and is qualified to do that and I think that might help you the most to have that reassurance from your Doctor , I know I feel a lot better when my Doctor reassures me about any physical worries I might have :-) x

Yes, 3 clicks on google always leads to cancer or heart problems, even if you are just googling a pimple.
