I don't know if this is the correct section for this. So feel free to move to this to the appropriate section if needed.
For the past week I have been getting these stomach aches. I've been dealing with a lot of stress and I'm assuming that is why I'm getting these stomach aches.
The first reason (and probably the main reason) why I've been feeling like this is over a guy. I'm gay. So it's always been hard for me to find guys to date. There is this one guy in particular that has me all stressed. He is relatively older than me. He is 25 and I am 19. We went out 2 times, I believe, and after those 2 dates and several months of talking, he decided that he didn't think it was best for us to continue talking. He said that we are in 2 different places in our lives and he doesn't see it working out right now. I hated it, but it was kind of just whatever. A month went by and we hadn't talked. We randomly started talking after 1 month and I told him that I still liked him and asked him if he would consider going out again to give it another shot. He said yes and we went out this past weekend. I ended up asking him after how he felt and he said he felt the same way he did before, which makes sense. The age is an issue, as we are different places, but I still like him so much. He said before that he would still like to be friends, but I honestly am not even sure how he feels about that. Because of this, it's causing me to feel stressed over it. And I'm pretty sure this is the main reason for my stomach aches.
The 2nd reason I think I'm feeling this way is because of school. I took a year off after high school and I am now starting college. I just started this week and it's very nerve racking. I'm not all that nervous about it I guess, but every time I even think about school or having to go to my classes my stomach starts to turn and I start to feel worse. Once I am in class and I am working I don't feel bad or anything. I'm assuming it's because I'm working and my mind is focusing on something else and I'm not worrying and stressing. But college is a very new experience for me. It's the first time I've been to a school where I know absolutely nobody and it's just a whole new experience. It's exciting, but at the same time nerve racking.
So yeah, I've been having this stress stomach aches and I have no idea how to get rid of them. I know that if I'm doing something to occupy my mind then I won't be worrying and stressing, but that is the thing... I can't find anything to do. Since this is only the first week of school, I have basically nothing to do for school. When I get home from classes I kind of just sit around and watch TV. If I'm not doing that I'm talking to a friend on the phone or something. But even then my mind is still off worrying and stressing about this guy and about school.
I'm just so tired of these stomach aches. It's causing me to have almost no appetite. I eat the basic meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner), but I don't eat anything else because my stomach hurts and just the thought of food makes my stomach turn. The stomach aches are non-stop and I don't know how to get rid of them. I'm sure they will go away once I'm used to school and once I'm over this guy, but I don't know what to do about them in the meantime. It's just not a good feeling to have these.
Does anybody have any suggestions on what I can do?
