I'm hoping I'm not alone in this
But does anyone else get loads of pain all day every day? For some reason I'm in pain all the time, and I don't mean just aches though sometimes they are just aches but also really bad stabbing pain, usually in stomach, side and private area or near it. Like wtf is up with that? Already seen loads of doctors and been to hospital so many times and nothing ever showed up which made me look and sound nuts. But it's genuine, loads of pain all the time. Also get feeling of sickness a lot as well.
Last month I've started getting it in my head as well, at the back of my head and sides as well. Been feeling dizzy as well. Don't know what it is or how to make it better, it starts, gets bad sometimes severe and then a few hours later it eases up. Really weird
I know people with autism can be oversensitive to pain and also can have digestive issues. So I put it down to that but last few months it has got a lot worse, could be my anxiety as I do suffer bad from that
But it's also making me feel suicidal, like thoughts and feelings because if this is for the long run and there is no help then I really find want to stick around for that.
Mostly I like life but I'm not hanging around if I'm going to be in pain until I'm like 80. I'm not even 26 yet and already I'm in more pain than most people are. It sucks
And then there's the feeling sick, the dizziness, the digestive stuff, like holy hell wtf is going on
You guys get this to or is it just me?
I'm finding it hard to live with now and don't know who go to with it as doctors and hospitals found nothing
Makes me feel crazy but I know I'm not. At a loss now

Hello Chloe
Thanks for your reply
And for the links I've taken a look at them and have saved them for future use in case I need them. Always handy to have them as a back up if I need them
I used Samaritans once before, long time ago but I remember it was helpful at the time so if I need it again I'll definitely give them a call
Sorry for mentioning that I felt a little suicidal. It was just thoughts and feelings, no plans
But I have called my doctor this morning and I've got an appointment this afternoon so hopefully she can help me with my suicide thoughts and feelings, and with the pain. That would be perfect
But thank you for your help and support
It's very appreciated ^-^
