for the last year i've been obsessing about my bowels. When it all started last year i was having loose bm's every morning, feeling of incomplete evacuation and sometimes going to the toilet 3/4 times. i do have ibs and my anxiety was at an all time high then.
Things have improved greatly over the last few months both with the anxiety and with the ibs but i am totally obsessed and my anxiety rises whenever i have to go to the toilet.
I am receiving cbt at the moment which is helpful, my therapist told me the other day that i probably won't ever be free of the health anxiety but its about learning how to manage it.
Just so so tired of the fear and obsessing.
