I’m glad you got the help you needed Jonny. You’re very responsible for doing what you did.

Yes, feeling like you didn’t finish is a very common symptom of IBS and sertraline. Don’t let it bother you too much

Thank you,

I think it’s because I’m passing solids again so I have to get used to that hence why it stings and because my bum stings it makes me aware of feeling down there making me feel I need to poo

God, I feel your pain right now. Everybody tells me "your doctor already said there's nothing wrong with you! Why can't you just believe them!" The thing is with health anxiety, GAD etc its not that simple. I made a post last night because I'm freaking out about allergies, coughing and vaping.. thinking its something much worse! Anyway, the best answer I've ever given anyone in response to that is "with suffering from health anxiety and generalized anxiety disorder, if God himself told me there's nothing wrong.. I'd probably still go on Google to see if he's right." and that's pretty sad, isn't it?

Sorry to write here again but I’ve been ok for 4 days but I just went to the toilet and it was normal(ish) but I now have that continuing feeling in my tummy where I need to go again, is this normal with anxiety and ibs? I’ve been told catergorically I haven’t got crohns or anything like that

Yes absolutely Jonny, this will go on like this all the time you are anxious - and it was only this week you returned to work. Remember that what comes out today is a 'product' of maybe a couple of days ago, and so you are seeing delayed responses in your bowels, even if you are less anxious at the moment. Some people, with very bad IBS have flare-ups for months and months, not saying you will - but to let you know that there is no actual physical damage to the bowels.

Thanks carys, it’s just accepting it’s just a feeling!! It’s so hard though
