Having Guilt By Doing Wrong At The Past. Depression, Anxiety, Pain In Stomach. Is It Due To Guilt?

I did something wrong a while back, and now I feel like I have guilt and perhaps depression/ anxiety . My stomach has been in pain for months now. Could this be the guilt? Or should i see a doctor? I m really worried and it s caused a lot of discomfort. I haven t taken any medication in about 4 years. So far all I feel is an upset stomach and as a result, I have a hard time enjoying myself, and often don t want to interact with people or go anywhere.

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for using health care magic.
Yes anxiety can present with many types of physical complains including abdominal pain. However abdominal pain can also have many different reasons . So firstly you should get a USG abdomen done to rule out any organic cause. If not then then you should treat yourself for some psychological causes. If USG is normal you should contact a psychiatrist who can involve you in some talk therapy to ventilate your guilt and make yourself think rationally.
Hope I am able to solve your query.
I will happy to help you if you need any further clarifications.
