My Stomach Condition - 'Its All In My Head'

[@Imogenhorton.]

Watching this back makes me sad, I look so bubbly and happy here! THANKS FOR STICKING BY ME! I love you ❤️

[@Jasmine-fz3md]

Love you Imo so much xxxxxxx

[@hannahblack5272]

I love you so much angel ❤️❤️❤️

[@jessicawilson6552]

You’ll get back to you, a little tlc & time 💗💗

[@murphdawgswizzle]

we love you babyyyyy

[@lucy1610]

We're so proud of you :))) xxx

[@katieanne_a]

As a nurse, it breaks my heart that you had this experience! I’m appalled that the consultant told you it was all in your head and was so patronising about it!! Also, Imogen please rewatch this video and listen to own advice. You have the kindest heart and it’s not right that you’re struggling! I’m rooting for you gal! You WILL get back to feeling 100% amazing again 🥰💕

[@angelknight8196]

I really wish you still had this mindset that you're talking about in the video, you're worth so much more than the trolls❤️

[@emilyhalliwell4537]

I got told for 10 years the my pain was all in my head turned out it was endometriosis so I completely sympathise! Sending all the love 💜

[@NoIdea68]

I went through something very similar except it wasn’t physical pain it was my mental health. After years of being invalidated by pretty much every person that I opened up to, I decided to take things into my own hands. The nhs failed me, so I decided to get a formal diagnosis. It was the best £400 i’ve ever spent. At least now I know whats wrong with me and I can finally understand myself. Thank you so much for sharing :) Its through the good of people like imogen and her story times that we can feel like we’re not the only ones. I love our lil community where we can feel safe and all relate together ❤️

[@CrazyyyMoo1996]

Me too! Even an hour before my surgery my surgeon said to me 'don't be disappointed when I don't find anything', he had to sheepishly tell me after he found endo everywhere. Sadly he did a bad job so I'm still waiting for a second surgery with a specialist. Hope you're doing okay from one (drugged up on morphine) endo sister to another! X

[@kennedysimpson2000]

I have a family history of Endo and every symptom that comes with it. It is agonising. But the doctors don’t want to do anything 😔

[@racheldraper8929]

Hi imogen, I don't know if you'll ever see this and can only hope that you do! But I just want to let you know just how beautiful you are both inside and out. I have severe anxiety disorder and yet, your energy, personality, charisma and everything you bring to your videos and photos have be in complete bliss in that moment. I don't want you to listen to any words that aren't positive going forward, because I am telling you here and now, that you are beyond special. You have helped people in ways you'll never even know. Please go to bed knowing that you're many peoples light, and that's exactly why jealous people try to dim that light so that you don't shine brighter then them. Stay the you that you are, and all the brilliance that comes with you. So much love to you and Spencer and hope you are safe and well ❤

[@emmaherbert24]

These story times help me so so much as someone who struggles with a chronic condition its really rare to be able to relate to people! Thank you!!

[@HannahGeorgia]

I love seeing you so bubbly and happy. You will get back to your old self. You say at the end 'whatever you're fighting you can get through this' - mental struggles are just the same. LOVE YOU! Xx

[@giovannamonara4252]

Before I even watch this ... The last 2 years I have suffered from a stomach condition; so many times I was told “ it’s in your head” not only from practitioners but family and friends. It was so disheartening & the fact that those closest to me had no consideration to what I was going through, both emotionally and physically broke me. Thank you for sharing your story ! ❤️

[@emmaherbert24]

Did you ever get a diagnosis?💜

[@sophiemartin5794]

That speech about how what you look like isn’t what defines you is the most inspiring thing! You are amazing xxx

[@karaheseltine6871]

I’ve been ill since I was a baby, I am gluten free, dairy free, I have dismotility, chronic pain all over my body, hypermobility, asthma, I have to take so many tablets and medication a day, and have recently found out after years of fighting that I have NTM which is a rare lung disease I am now eventually getting put on intense treatment for 2 years but it will make me severely ill, ive been told so many times it’s in my head and I’ve proved them wrong, I’m still very ill and I’m just getting worse and worse, it’s nice to know I’m not alone and I’ll eventually get there, your videos really help me get thru this, thank you so much

[@ktc960]

You got this girl. Was so excited to watch this video. We will always be here xxx

[@abnormal-teen6432]

just looking at how good you was doing and how positive you were makes me smile so so much. i cannot wait till you find this part of you again, because it’s amazing seeing you being yourself xxxxx

[@franjeffries712]

First off thank you for sharing your story. I have just watched part 1 through to 4 after seeing part 4 in my notifications and going through a similar experience. My story is no where near as painful or horrible as yours so far but I have been told it is all in my head. Been through the camera tests you were on about and I remembered the time I had one down my throat and my goodness me it was horrendous. I still to this day at the age of 21 have no diagnosis and IBS tablets did not work for me either. I get my pains very randomly and actually got sent to the GP from school back in year 10 or 11 because they thought I was having panic attacks due to anxiety and stress. I have been to so many people for advice but do not know what to do because I am so much better off than so many people in these comments. I just want to let you all know, if you are still reading this, that your pain is no less and if you do not think it is in your head then fight for it.

[@Jasmine-fz3md]

I can’t imagine how hopeless you must have felt with the doctor saying it’s in your head. I can’t believe it. Bless your heart 💓

[@echo222]

Thanks so much for being such an inspiration and sharing your story. I was dismissed by so many doctors who would listen to me talking for about 30 seconds about my debilitating symptoms before gaslighting me and saying it was all in my head. Luckily I'm a biology student so was able to use the knowledge from my studies to discover a condition called POTs, which I was then able to be tested and diagnosed with. If I hadn't taken my health into my own hands, I would be pretty much bedbound by now, instead of pretty much symptom free through simple lifestyle measures. This is not an isolated event, as you're story has shown too. Disgusting the damage people can do through not just admitting when they don't know something or being open minded enough to trust the individual who is seeking your help. Sending love to you and hope you can see how much of a positive influence you are having on those around you 💜

[@hannahwhite766]

I could watch you all day! I swear I go into a trance during your story times, when it ends I can’t believe it! You are amazing and in your words you can get through this! Love you xx

[@pinklemonade.8059]

I just love how she is so chatty and always goes off on little tangents lol. It's so entertaining and cute! ♥️💕💖

[@holly7286]

Really needed to hear what you said about not caring about what other people think. I love you so much! You're amazing! Please never stop being you Imogen! 💕

[@laurenrose5068]

healing takes time, you got to go through your bad days to see the good. I’m so incredibly proud of you everyday❤️

[@angelgibbs2383]

Always believe in yourself and don't listen to the horrible people. All the huns are here for u. Love u xxxxx

[@harrietturner2489]

Ahhh what a cliff hanger Imogen! I love you're videos and the story times especially!

[@fransfreedom6686]

Thankyou so much for sharing your story - I as much as many other people REALLY appreciate this! Ihave Gastroparesis and GERD, it took 6 years for me to finnaly get diagnosed being fucked over many times being told it’s in your head or “just ibs” I’m so grateful for you and I look up to you so much! Thankyou for continuing to be your wonderful beautiful self! I love you angel❤️✨xx

[@hayleysage7012]

I hope when you uploaded this you listened to what you were telling everyone about being strong and how the inside matters. You’re amazing and can get through this xx x

[@jadegreen7612]

YOU LOOK GORGEOUS HERE HUN!! I have missed these videos so much 😍😍😍

[@amelialea6642]

You’re so beautiful I love all your videos and will be here supporting you through all of them, the highs and the lows. Be proud of yourself Imogen xx

[@mariah1362]

I had such a good day yesterday. Finally feeling content ❤️ filling my day with laughter always helps xx

[@murphdawgswizzle]

my family always tells me that i'm a hypochondriac. but i'm constantly in so much pain. i have bad digestive problems, terrible back aches, i'm constantly dizzy and super weak, and i'm scared to eat because it always ends up hurting afterwards. i just wish people would listen to me.

[@Navyc3]

alanariley same I’m just giving up at this point . My mum said to me the other day “ I don’t think there’s anything wrong with you “ so I don’t know what to do anymore part from deal with the pain cause that what I’ve been doing now for all most a year . No one ever listens. I hope it gets better for you though I wish you all best xx

[@tasniahussain753]

Sorry I don't know you, but have you got your blood test done? I'm no Dr but I have low iron and vitamin D and I have the same symptoms. Maybe you should get it checked out?❤️

[@Chloe-qg1jl]

Please please please keep going. I’m not sure your age but keep making those doctor appointments, make sure they know how much it effects your day to day life. It’s such a long journey for diagnoses but it will be worth it! And people in these comment sections, including me are always here for support! I hope you get the answers you need 💜

[@countrycarousel9918]

Have you ever been tested for coeliac disease? Just a simple blood test

[@murphdawgswizzle]

Country Carousel my cousin actually just got diagnosed with it yesterday. my mom is finally taking me to get tested soon.

[@Backforthefuture]

Thank you sweetheart for still posting this. The first thing that struck me is whether retelling the “experience” has triggered PTSD? What you went through was horrendous and terrifying and confusing. I’m 45 and have had stomach issues for years and they’re are getting worse. My son has to be connected to a bowel flush ( mechanical enema) to empty his bowels. I recently got taken to hospital for severe pain, I hadn’t eaten for nearly a week.. I was told your bloods are fine, go home. I was devastated as I wanted to scream at the to help me but felt guilty due to Covid so dutifully left at 3am. That has impacted me mentally and physically. Please look into PTSD especially as its opinions that trigger you. That “Dr” who was in a position of trust gave you a very negative opinion and it may be a contributing factor. You’re real and you’re a warrior woman. Please don’t ever stop believing in yourself ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@HEROS9GIRL]

You do know Imogen how you feel RIGHT NOW will pass? Nothing is forever, this feeling isn’t forever and you will be feeling a lot better soon. Ride this feeling out, you’ll learn so much about yourself in this time. You will get back to being you when the time is right. It’s ok to feel low and I know it feels like forever but it’s not. It will pass. It always does. Chin up sweetheart xxx

[@Imogenhorton.]

I adore you genuinely

[@hannahaitken1939]

Watching this video made me so sad really shows how mental health and trolls turn things from u being such a happy bubbly person and then a few weeks later can change ur whole life, I'm so so sorry but u will get back there, u always are bubbly even at your worst it just hidden waiting to pop out again. U will get through this and u have come so far. Please continue to fight as u are beautiful sending my love xxxx

[@jadebranagan6920]

I love your story times so so much, I've missed them a lot ❤

[@eleanorrosedeakin9332]

I don’t know how you got through all this hospital trauma you’re such an incredible person!! Love you loads and I hope your mental health recovery is still progressing. You’re an angel ❤️❤️❤️

[@netsr851]

Watching this video shows how strong you've always been and proves you can navigate your way through anything.. Just remember that ♥

[@whitneylaurenjones]

I totally agree with you, beauty comes from within and I really needed to hear that. Love you Imogen 💗Sending you the biggest of hugs xx

[@Han-xt1pb]

So lovely to see you being your normal self ! Cannot wait to see you better than ever! Storms are only temporary, the sun will soon shine ❤️❤️

[@drishtipatel6973]

Thank you so much!!! These storytimes are AMAZING!

[@shots4248]

thankyou for the "we can get through this" at the end. i needed that today. my mental health has taken a pluuungeee so thankyou! 😔🥺💖💖

[@rachelwells5229]

You have been through so much both physically and mentally. I know you're going through a tough time know but oh my god you should be incredibly proud of yourself for how brilliant and brave you have been. Fuck the haters, you're such a wholesome, warm person xxxx

[@WishedUponAVlog]

And your cupboard opening, 😂 sounds like my over packed wardrobe lol

[@lucyx7110]

I went through the exact same thing. I was taking a mediation and had severe back/hip pain. Every time I stopped the mediation I had the pain go away. I told my doctors about it and they said because they hadn’t heard of it it must not be real. The doctor then said ‘are you sure that it isn’t in your head?’ I literally was like so surprised as I knew the pain and my body and there must of been something wrong. I literally did not sleep for two weeks at one point, because The pain was so bad. I also had the issue of not going to the toliet but only for around 2 weeks because of the pain and evenly had a laxative and managed to go. I ended up having a huge tumour in my spine and luckily had it removed. If the doctors had listened and looked into it , it could have been prevented. It’s so frustrating. I know how you feel! Hope you going ok xx

[@paigex2016]

You poor angel. I have IBS and it's been really bad lately. Constipation is absolutely horrific. Love you ❤️ stay strong xx

[@emmabond9593]

Being told it's all in your head is THE WORST. I was told the same about a condition I have and it's SO unbelievably frustrating.. I'm so with you! On a side note, FYI, you totally need to remember to listen to your own brilliant advice - who cares what anyone else thinks?! Beauty is internal 💕

[@rue4u165]

i could listen to you speak for hours omg, cant wait for the next one! i cannnot believe the hell you went through, it sounds absolutely horrendous :(

[@cerimilnes9653]

Hearing this just emphasises once again how strong you are. Love you xx

[@rosaramahi1651]

Having a bad mental health day and seeing you in my feed always makes me smile. Hope your feeling okay babe! 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💋💋

[@louisehodges5646]

Had the exact same thing! Went to hospital a few weeks ago for stomach pain and the surgeon told me I was imagining it! Made a complaint and thankfully he had a talking to by his boss on how to treat patients

[@l.rosalie3942]

I'm a nurse and I am absolutely speechless to the fact they discharged you when you hadn't opened your bowels for over 2 months! I'm so shocked! It's disgraceful, that clearly something was not right! Even if it was "in your head", being constipated for over 2 months is so dangerous! Genuinely can't get my head around why they would do that 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Amy-bt5gg]

Why did you delete your mocktail video? It was so good and I wanted to watch it again! Made me laugh so much ❤️❤️

[@jess5526]

I agree. It was so nice to see you starting to become you again!!

[@maryisaac9439]

I missed it 😣😣😣😣😣

Imogen you should be so proud of yourself. i know i am proud of you. you are always looking stunning and so real. you dont realise the impact you have on people! you truly are an inspiration and a gorgeous well brought up Women!! xx

[@tashevans3940]

It must have been traumatic for you when doctors say it’s all in your head and the tests you had to go repeatedly through. You are so strong and amazing.

[@katieadela4034]

i love you queen, the mocktail video was so good!, this serious makes me feel so not alone with my own stomach issues. you're an angel and i look up to you so much ❤️

[@jesskellett4383]

om i feel you , i was on and off having constipation for over 9 years . it was awful i was literally on the exact same medication as you ! your so strong and beautiful

[@jennybutler9477]

Hey Imogen, I hope you are doing OK. I just wanted to say that I got my hoodie on Friday, I am so delighted with it and I really admire you for selling your remaining stock for Mind Charity. I am really glad that I got to donate with you. I only got a chance to watch your video today. It was great, you were great. I know it was before everything happened, but I know that you can get back to yourself. 💜 Take care and Stay Safe. 💜

[@meganw-w3725]

I love this series! It’s so real! You’re amazing 💕

Looking forward to watching! So so proud of you and how much you’ve gone through makes you so much stronger xxxx I love you💘

[@leahwall9795]

Female pain can often be minimised or seen as “overdramatised” - I’m so glad you fought through it all but so sad it took so much to even be believed even though there was literally no evidence to say you were “fine” 💔💛💛💛

[@rosieharford1030]

I love you so much you have changed my life for the better and your so inspirational and show me that times can be tough but you can get through things if your stay strong and positive. I have mental health issues so I get very depressed and I'm in a really bad place at the moment, your doing amazing and I just want to let you know that I'm here for you no matter what and we will get through this together. Your the strongest person I know and your videos make me smile when times are tough. I love you so much x

[@chellie7887]

I appreciate this video having crohns disease myself, knowone talks about issues like this enough love you xxxxxxx ❤️

[@emilyh1408]

Hey Imogen! Your story has upset me sooo much as it resonates so much with me. I have dedicated my channel to being diagnosed with ‘somatic symptom disorder’ which lead to me being suicidal. It’s the worst thing being told that it’s ‘all in your head’. You’re so strong and I am so proud of you!! Xxx

[@Caitlintoni]

I know you’re not in the same mindset right now but please stay strong. You have so much support around you 💛

[@hannahprentice1584]

Oh imo I’m sending you so much love. You don’t even know how loved you are. We are with you along the way to get you back to this again. Sending a massive cuddle 💕💕

[@tonirichardson2714]

I went through a very similar thing untill recently for the past year, I was throwing up and had really bad stomach pains after having a burning feeling in my stomach for MONTHS it’s taken a year after being on steroid medication and then being told it’s all in my head, turns out I have Crohn’s disease and they were telling me It was and then it wasn’t untill March this year I ended up in hospital again and then again 3 weeks later because of it for them to then now turn around and say definitely it’s Crohn’s disease and I need to go in a very intense treatment! Sometimes doctors don’t always know best they think they can feel what you’re feeling but they can’t! ❤️

[@amandarose2736]

Always watch your videos as soon as I see them go up! I'm so glad you are starting to feel a bit better and have been uploading again. I'm sending all my love and positivity your way Angel. Alway remeber that rainbows can only exist if it rains🌈 🦋💕

[@ireneesperante8137]

This video was just what I needed (going through some health issues right now so I can relate a lot). Love you so much ❤️, Imogen!

[@Si-ee2nd]

It‘s Crazy... I think I am experiencing it right now. I am in so much pain.. headaches, stomach aches, idk. Needed this video! Love u

[@brynapaige9777]

Imogen im glad you have watched this back becuase if there is anything that will help its yourself, the advise you goving in this video you need to play on repeat it may be upsetting for a while but then it will start to sink in. You an amazing person who is very beautifull and smart 😘 everyone needa to be kind but we all need to be kind to our selves sometimes i honestly know how your feeling and if i had 1 little bit of advise it would be start to accept how you are now and when you start feeling a little bit better enjoy the day and it will get better i punished myself for a long time for feeling the way i did i didnt think i deserved to feel low and anxious when there was so many people in worse situations but everyone is on their own path and you carnt judge others for yourself. Love always xxxx

[@samanthamorris7696]

Bc I have anxiety since I was 11, it has always been used against me when going to the doctor. I was bed ridden in severe pain bc of hpylori for 2 years prior to being diagnosed because I kept getting sent to psychologists and given anxiety meds. I hope this never happens to anyone and am so thankful you shared your experience

[@hellokitty0031]

Same because ive gone to the doctors for depression and anxiety from 11 as well everytime i go doctors with something they always say its down to my mental health. When i was suffering from some illnesses the doctor said its all in my head. Its made me not feel comfortable going to the doctors
