Please Shut Up
Posted: 06-04-05 13:40pm

Omg I went to the cinema with a boy the other night and all the way through the film my belly growled the loudest it ever has before, I felt really embarresst so I just turned to him and shyly giggled and said "hehe im hungry" then he said "i no I can hear",
he put his hand on my tummy and rubbed it to shut it up but guess what:- that just made it 10 times worse. And when the film finnished he said "come on then lets get your stomach something to eat before it eats me"
we laughed about it but I was so embarressed.
Has anyone got any tips to keep it quiet for the next time I go to see a film?

Hey amy, sorry to hear about what happened. You know if your stomach really growls that much even when you're not hungry and it keeps happening you may want to see a Dr. Maybe something else is the problem.

Hope you're ok now and take care.

But just think, if you did go to the dr, you would be able to get help and not be embarrased so many times. Also I am sure your Dr. Has seen it before in other people. So he/she will not be surprised.
After all, its their job to listen to patients' concerns no matter what they are....:)
take care

Amy,

just caught your post in passing so to speak.

Just thought i'd stop to say to you, and anyone else reading this post that may benefit:

never be embarrased to see medical and/or psychological/psychiatric consultants about anything.

Other people have also said words to this effect on other posts on this site, and I agree that when your health and well-being are in distress, you owe it to yourself to do the best you can to get a resolution to your problem(s).

In most countries such experts are required to keep your concerns, as in regards to your health, well-being and privacy, utmost in importance. It is also your right, in most countries, to request a suitable substitute if you have a legitimate reason (i.E. A female may choose to temporarily see a female practitioner for certain problems, or a male may request a male practitioner), if it makes you feel more comfortable.

No-one should let themselves suffer or even come to harm if it can be at all prevented.

:)
