I forgot the thing that made me angry.
I went there because my kidneys were hurting for days.
I told her that too. I said "My kidneys have been hurting".
She gave me muscle relaxers for back pain.
And I found out later that there was blood in my urine and they never told me.
The doctor I had last was nice. It was easy to talk to him.

Ungh, that was so ******* careless of her -w-
How on earth does a doctor commits such a mistake...
It makes me terribly angry to hear of cases like that, because it shows that they're people who truly don't care about their patients or career at all *rubs forehead*
I hope nothing bad happened to you Moi, that is one delicate matter.
No sequels at all I hope :/

The pain went away a few days later.
I think it's just that I drink way too much caffeine.
As for the blood, I have no idea o_O
I do know I have chronic stomach pains.
And bad headaches.
I told the doctor I had a while ago.
I was worried that it might be cancer.
I'm not a doctor, so I don't know if he was right, but he told
me the pains I get in my head and stomach are spasms.
They're abrupt but painful 'spasms'.
The ones in my stomach can last up to 10 minutes.
It's so bad sometimes I can't move at all.
It'd be like 15/10 on the pain scale.
But it doesn't last THAT long usually.
It is embarrassing to be out shopping and get the pain.
It travels from my stomach to my thighs and everything
tightens and I have to stop and stand there in pain.

Well, when there's blood in the urine it means you either have an urinary infection (Sometimes) or your kidneys are swollen (Which is a bad thing)
Of course there are more causes, but to tell you'd need special lab tests and other stuff.
Umm, strange :/
Stomach cancer it's usually due to chronic gastric reflux. So the pain should be of the burning kind. Well, most of the time.
I'm afraid I've not heard of these 'spasms', but it doesn't sound good :/
I really am wondering now. Spasms are something that affect muscles not organs .w.;
I hope they find out what you have and help you.
Uh- Moi, would you like Sukku to have a fruit/vegetable or something in his left hand? If so, what?
He's holding the knife with the right hand, so. Just an idea.
Would show you a sketch but photobucket is being a jerk right now :/

Well, it's not my stomach, but it's where my stomach is, sorry.
The muscles where my stomach is tighten. it leads to my other
muscles in that area to tighten as well and I can't move.
He said it was...anxiety related and gave me some pills for it.
I don't think they did anything.
But I do have stomach problems as well.
I always have. Especially when I'm upset.
My stomach starts hurting really bad.
So does my chest. I wish I wasn't so easily irritated.
As for my head, he told me to drink Coke.
At first I thought he meant the drug.
He just said "I hate to tell you this, but coke".
._. so naturally I assumed...
Can you make it a ginger?
If not, maybe a tomato?

Ohh, I see.
Then yeah, he's kind of right. If you're too anxious or prone to stress your body has to release it somehow. And for some people that means their muscles acting up doing that job.
The only way to help you it's giving you pain-relievers and for you to try to control your emotions a bit :/
Gah, coke will just make your stomach angrier xD
For headaches I'd tell you to drink strong coffee (But not more than 2 cups per day) and it can't be decaffeinated.
Tea and chocolate have the same effect but chocolate has a weaker effect than coffee and tea is twice stronger than coffee is.
They'll help with your headaches and your stomach as well, not to say they're good for your respiratory system. AND they're not as bad for health as artificial coke D:
Yup! I can do any of those, hehe. I'll do both versions and you tell me if you like the ginger or tomato better ^^
*edits* Now, if you drink too much caffeine... That could also be the reason of your headaches. Because caffeine causes the opposite effect (Pain reliever and head-blood vessels constrictor) when drank in big amounts :/
A lot of caffeine will also make your heart beat much much faster which could be a reason for your chest pain.

I'm a caffeine addict, honestly.
._.;
I've been trying to work on my emotions, but it's hard.
I have gone a few days without getting upset, but today I just snapped.
I was taking anti-depressants, but I had to stop taking them.
I don't like depending on medication, but they seemed to help.
I was less hostile. Nowadays I'm just a bundle of anger.
And I don't like being angry all the time.
I don't like snapping at people.
I don't like getting violent.
I had a bad time earlier because I took my anger out on
someone physically and I still feel bad.
I keep seeing her crying and it hurts.
When I was younger, I wouldn't care, but as I get
older, I get more and more empathetic.
It also seems that I get more and more aggressive.
People keep telling me I need an outlet, but I already write and draw when I'm upset.

Hearing that I've got no doubts it's the caffeine :/
Which also, in high doses makes you really irritable and impatient.
Moi, could it be that maybe you act like that because you're caffeine addict? .w.;
I mean, there's always the probability. Caffeine is a good thing, really, but only when drank in small amounts... Attempting to leave it or reducing the consume can be hard, not to say that once you try you'll get headaches because of an abstinence syndrome... But you could give it a try.
I bet it must be difficult, but anti-depressants are not gonna make things better vwv;;
No matter what doctors say, heck, I'm studying medicine and I've been told that. They're usually for people who have no hope at other kind of treatment :/
*hugs* That sounds terrible. Have the doctors really not tried to help you with other techniques or stuff?
A change in diet, physical exercise, swimming, dancing, there are a lot of things you can do to help your emotions, it doesn't have to be medication and medication only :/

Well, they've told me to go see a counselor.
I have been to counselors before but just stopped going.
I'm not really good with telling people things.
I find it hard to put thoughts into words.
It used to be really hard for me just to say "I love you" to family and friends.
I have tried not drinking caffeine when I was dieting.
It just didn't last long. I was constantly craving caffeine.
I've heard a lot about people killing someone out of rage.
I got really angry and almost beat a family member not long ago.
I was able to stop myself, but it's scary. I always worry about
not being able to stop myself. I've tried all kinds of ways to deal
with my anger, but I'm still so angry.
A lot of it has to do with with my negativity and not trusting people.
I've been used and stabbed in the back before and I have trust issues.
I always think people are trying to hurt me. This usually causes me to
act out in anger and it doesn't make me very popular with others.
I've been trying to work on that by thinking people are just helping.

Maybe you need more time. As for the counselor thing, if you're not good at telling things to people then tell them to yourself, practice. That kind of stuff so you can say the words later with more ease to somebody else.
I have a cousin that is like that, he finds it really hard to tell his feelings to someone, no matter if it's family. Probably because he thinks he'll get hurt ):
It was a LONG process but we were there for him, tried to be as understanding and caring as we could, show him we meant no danger. He's gotten a lot better in the last years.
I guess what I'm trying to say it's that you can't do this alone.
You're gonna need friends and family and people to be there to help you.
And I mean, really help you.
Ahhh... I see, yep, leaving caffeine is as hard as stopping smoking, seriously. It's still a good thing that you tried. Maybe you could try doing it but instead of stopping just decreasing the amount you drink everyday little by little?
I understand that part. It can't be helped... To me however it's different because I'm far too trusting. I mean, I've had friends who backstabbed me real bad, but I feel the necessity to give everyone a second chance >w>;
But somehow that's getting hurt more and more, so I can't really place myself in your shoes and say I know how that feels...
It's a time issue, if you want to work out trusting others, you'll have to try hard. But you're right, not everyone is gonna try to hurt you, I can assure you of that Moi, you have friends here you know, and we'll try to be there for you. I just wish there was something I could do to help you :/
