Do you often feel this kind of strange stomach ache?

Post Reply New Topic

Hi i'm new here, sorry for the bad english of an italian guy I'm not diagnosed yet, and i don't want to present myself to ask you if you think i'm aspie or not, the only way to know it is a professional diagnosis.

My first question is: do you often feel, like me, a bad sensation in the stomach, that makes you feel almost seek sometimes? For me is when I go somewhere far, like when I go to school or to my father's house, or it is really bad when i go somewhere for holidays. It is a kind of anxiety plus fear plus something else, it is very hard to explain, it is like a wieght hard to bring with me, that makes me really bad sometimes. When I get this feeling, i don't really look to anyone or anything, is like I'm only looking at this kind of horrible sensation, that i get almost daily for 2 or 3 hours. I hate this, but i don't know why, i'm sometimes happy of it, because if I don't have this feeling, i found myself really bored for most of the time. My question is: do you feel that?

Yes, I feel it too when I'm under pressure. Welcome to WP, fellow European!

That sounds like the physical effects of anxiety to me. Perhaps you are one of the people whose emotions tend to express themselves more as physical sensations than as cognitive experiences.

I feel a lot of my emotions physically. I often find it hard to know if I'm feeling sad or have a stomach ache or a headache.

Hmm, no, I can't say that I have. I have got butterflies in my tummy before, causing pains what aren't exactly painful, but is still uncomfortable, and it can sometimes cause cramps and cause me to go to the toilet (constipation style, thank God!)

Also I get hunger pains, where I feel like my stomach is eating itself, or I feel like acid is going to burn through my stomach because it hurts that much. I don't know why I get those pains for because I do eat properly. I like my food, and I have descent meals, mostly.

And period pains, which are more bearable now that I've gone on the pill.
