headaches and stomaches
for like a month, i have been getting headaches and stomach pains, not aches. also it hurts on my ribs too. its on and off. like for an hour i have a little headache and for another hour it hurts on my ribs or anywhere on my stomach. my doctor says im making myself get this by worrying. so im going to a counselor so we can figure out whats causing this to happen. can worrying or thinking about it really bring on stomache pains and headaches? also can this just be my period, remember it has gone on for a little over a month. do you think my doctor is wrong and i have a disease i can die from or will last forever? whats up?

If it doesn't go away and/or it is really bothering you then go to another doctor. Yes, there could really be something wrong. I have noticed that when there is no obvious cause for a symptom, doctors automatically blame stress or psychological issues when sometimes that isn't really the cause. For example, I have Crohn's Disease and it took a couple years to get diagnosed because it isn't an obvious single test that can be done to explain my symptoms. They told me the pain was just psychological, but it turned out to be a very serious autoimmune disease. Get a second opinion and really push for more testing to be done to solve the problem.

Your doctor sounds as if he knows what he is doing. Listen to him and try to relax because getting uptight can bring on all the symptoms you describe. If you wind yourself up about things it will end up in a vicious circle and it will exacerbate the symptoms. Speaking to a counsellor is a very good idea because they will explore with you the reasons why you are feeling like you are. The chances are of it being a fatal disease are practically nil. I hope it all works out for you.

Yes, worrying can cause all those things and more. Listen to your doctor sounds like he knows what hes doing.
It won't last forever if you can get the worrying under control. The counselor should help with that.
Good luck. :)
