I’m not feeling good. My stomach hurts and I have cramps, I have heartburn, I’ve missed a period. I’ve been lying on my couch for 3 days. I have had a history of somatic complaints before. I stopped going to the doctor for my complaints and I’ve just been letting the symptoms run there course. That’s been going on for 3 years. I’m actually pretty skeptical now when I have physical symptoms. I’m quick to dismiss them as anxiety and in my head. These new batch of symptoms seem more intense and I’m having issues with functioning at work. I set up an appointment with a gynecologist for the first time. How do I know if this is legit or just my somatic symptoms acting up? I’m worried my mental health is getting worse. I’ve been stable for over 3.5 years. Why would I regress for no reason? Could something medical be going on? I seem to have a lot of symptoms of an ovarian cyst, or ovarian cancer.

I’m mainly worried that my mental health is getting bad again.
