Hey guys I ended up in hospital last night. Chest pains and ulcer pain. Paramedics came and did a few tests all clear except for ulcer pain. They decided to take me to hospital. Once i got there they did all sorts of tests including blood tests. Had to wait fir results then another 2 hrs they had to redo blood test to check heart. Tests came back all good. Ulcer pain was 6/10 so they gave me two meds to help with pain. They then asked about my mental state and I broke down. I told her about my psychosomatic snd the doctor explained it's real. I couldn't stop saying it's real I'm not making it up. She believed me. But I couldn't stop crying. I told her I felt like running away and Sh. She then decided I need to speak to the CAT team. But they were very busy and weren't sure when they could see me. After being moved to short stay and waiting all night fir the CAT team I decided this morning to leave snd come home. The doctor wanted me to stay but couldn't guarantee what time they would see me. So she gave me their number snd let me go home. But said if I feel suicidal or Sh I need to ring them asap. I promised I would.
One of my nurses told me how proud she was that I asked for help because a lot of people don't. Snd that I'm loved and I'm strong. Well thst made me cry even more.

@BlueBay. Our physical symptoms cause real pain. Regardless if chest pain is caused by anxiety - as in my case - it is real.
Sometimes we need validation.

I am so glad you received such wonderful validation from the medical staff at the hospital @BlueBay, and I hope just being heard, and hearing others confirm that psychosomatic pain is very real and not at all made up, helps to lessen the physical symptoms a little so you can get some rest ......

I am proud of you too, because many people don’t speak up, and it is so important to rreceive that validation that the pain is absolutely real.

Hi everyone @Faith-and-Hope @utopia @Zoe7 and others I forgot
Had a tough appt with my doctor this morning. Was zoning out quite a bit. I told him I was in hospital on Tuesday night. He was surprised. But glad I was ok regarding my heart. He said he still believes it's all psychosomatic and feels once I feel better mentally I will feel better physically. He told me he believes me I do feel the pain and it's real but we need to find the cause. And he still feels it's mentally. I got upset and started talking negatively and was totally confused. I zoned out. He asked what I was doing after my session. I told him I told the hospital I wanted to hurt myself badly because I wanted to show my psych thst the pain is real. He said that wouldn't help. We also talked about me not eating. And he said who will that help if you don't eat. I said me. I will lose all this weight and I will feel better. He just looked st me and didn't say a word but typed a lot on his computer. He said I need a plan fir this afternoon as I get too stressed after a psychologist session. I told him I will see Ayla. He agreed that would be good. He also doesn't believe I need a gastroenterologist at the moment but will monitor me for now.
I do trust my doctor. I just have to believe him. I still have negative thoughts and doubts. I worry so much. I still can't get in my head about this psychosomatic stuff.
