I was doing so well...

Anxiety can defiantly cause diarrhea. I know its happened to me on many occasions. A few weeks ago I had urgent diarrhea for 10 days (sorry TMI) and I don't know if I had a bug or what but it was starting to freak me out. I ate bland for a few days and it went away. Try sticking to very bland foods and water and see if it helps.

Thanks so much. I tried a warm salt solution again and there was no, if very little stinging. Hopefully that's an improvement

Very welcome! I know how difficult it is when your anxiety gets the best of you. Its so difficult to carry on even with everyday normal stuff. It just over takes your mind and its all you can focus on. I totally get it. *hugs*

I took a shower and while there was a little stinging, not as much as before. I usually take my showers hot, so that might be it?

It had to flare up when I'm having to finish my term paper and school stuff, when I'm already stressed out. It sucks

How are you feeling today?

Much better, my belly button is still pinkish but most of the pain is gone.
