Hey everyone :) i'm Tom and i'm 21 from near Plymouth.
I guess things started for me about 8 months ago, i started suffering with some symptoms that my GP thought might be Ulcerative Colitis however a recent appointment with a specialist has changed the possible diagnosis to I.B.S.
The main issue i've had is that i've pretty much stopped going out due to the anxiety of the symptoms and the not going out has left me suffering with depression pretty badly. I did suffer with quite bad depression around 6 years ago but with some professional help i managed to find a way through it. Since the new anxiety and depression about the I.B.S though i just feel like i don't have the strength to recover. I know its just the depression talking but i just feel like im stood at the bottom of a mountain and its a long hard climb ahead.
I'm currently studying from home and quit my job last year due to a very bad working environment.
I guess i'm looking to make some new friends on here, especially anybody local to me or even just some people who are going through the same kind of issues as i am.
Thanks for listening and i look forward to getting to know you all :)
