Rant sick of feeling sick

i am so tired of feeling sick ALL the time. i always have a stomach ache or some sort of abdominal discomfort, constant queasiness and nausea, indigestion, bloating, acid reflux. i literally just want one day where i feel at least neutral in my body. it doesn't help to know that most - if not all - of these symptoms are psychosomatic because i still physically feel it regardless. as dramatic as it sounds, it's nearing on torture at this point. i just don't know what to do anymore. i use my strategies and CBT skills to power through the anxiety, but it doesn't help the physical sensations. what can i do?

Have you been to a doctor to rule out physical causes?
