    Bowels are freaking me out

    Hello all. I’ve dealt with health anxiety all year and have gotten under control the past few months, which I’ve been really proud of. Unfortunately I feel like I’m on the verge of a freak out again. The past few days I’ve been having feelings of incomplete evacuations, thin stool and restricted passing gas. I’m so nervous about this since obviously these are symptoms of some sinister things. In addition to this I’ve been having the weird feeling everytime I feel like I’m about to have to use the bathroom my butt gets all tingly which really freaks me out. Has anyone ever experience this?? So weird.

    It sounds a lot like anxiety! I had the same symptoms at the start of the year and I thought I had a rectal blockage but I didn't

    But if you're concerned, go and see your doctor, just to hear it from a professional

    I'm going through the exact same thing now for the past 6 weeks. My doctor isn't at all concerned, saying it's a tight muscle due to being anxious.

    It makes a lot of sense but the irrationality of HA makes me disbelieve her and think it's something way more sinister. It sucks :(
