What somatic symptoms have people experienced?

Since becoming aware and starting to unrepress myself sexually, i keep getting all these big and small lumps in my breasts. I also had this meditation session where i was addressed childhood trauma then i felt this intense sensation in my groin area. When i stood up, I was bleeding and i bled for 2 weeks straight even though i was on the pill and had already had my periods recently.

It was really full on to deal with emotionally and i felt as if i were cursed.

I have been telling my mental health team about how great it would be if they could get their own gp so people with somatic or psych related physical problems don't have to keep embarrassing themselves by going to normal doctors.

Now when i have to go over something, i say to my gp 'i think it's another somatic symptom as i'm dealing with ....... issue at the moment'
This method has helped a lot both for them understanding me and my embarrassment. Now we make jokes about it.

What about everyone else?
