    A&E took me to the mental health team and they helped me they gave me a medical and agreed it’s my situation and my tablets that’s caused me like this

    I’m concerned about the diarrhoea and needing to poo all the time but they said the tests have ruled anything out sinister and it’s anxiety and side effects of sertraline

    You're ramped up due to starting the meds. When I took Zoloft for depression, I had a dodgy stomach for a few weeks but it settled down. Other than that, I didn't have any other side effects. I didn't notice any difference but people around me did. They commented on my attitude being more positive. I attribute that to the meds as they enabled me to focus on therapy.

    Bottom line, is you're physically healthy despite what your anxiety is trying to tell you. We can't help you believe that as reassurance doesn't work. Its going to be up to you. Hang in there and think about getting some real life professional help.

    Eat little amounts often - as I said on PM, a handful of nuts, a biscuit, a banana, a cup of milk, a yoghurt, that type of thing. Don't worry about 'meals' just get something into yourself.

    Difficult weekend!

    Hi guys,

    I went into hospital Sunday feeling suicidal, I have had this anxious knot feeling in my stomach for 3/4 days and my worrying about my health got too much and I just wanted to end it all!

    I went to A&E waited 8 hours to speak to mental health team. They were very good.

    I also had a full examination blood tests and a rectal examination and got told I’m very healthy with very good iron levels.

    I am now back home highly medicated and awaiting referral to the psychologist.

    They told me the weird feeling in my stomach and needed to poo was anxiety induced ibs.

    "Highly medicated" on what?

    You don't mention depression often in your posts. You generally focus on physical symptoms, which I remember commenting on before. So I hope seeing a psychologist will be helpful as it's important to get to the root of your HA and other MH problems.

    Anxiety and depression can often be close kin. In the worst of it for me, the anxiety started things off, but before I got through the worst of it, depression was just as bad, if not worse than the anxiety. =(

    I am glad you are getting the help you need though, stay strong. I was like that--wanting to just not feel it anymore--and I am much, much better off now. Seems like a distant memory to me at this point. If I can do it, so can you.

    Re: Doctors words.....

    So I’ve had a couple of better days, and my stomach has been settling along with my anxiety,

    However I went to go for a poo and the consistency was completely normal but now I’m left with a very sore bottom and the feeling I didn’t finish, i keep trying to tell myself it’s very common with IBS

    Pretty normal for both IBS and a side effect of Sertraline. It'll settle down along with your anxiety as the meds kick in.
