Doesn't have to be.
You do have a choice in how to respond to this situation..
Meanwhile, the anxiety and stress is making my bowels and IBS more severe, I still have to take codeine for arthritic pain and struggle to eat every day anyway. Sorry, I just feel so overwhelmed by all of this.
Nothing like a good bout of severe anxiety to muck up the bowels! Try and calm yourself down (do this for your mental health and your bowels!)
Re food; try and eat little and often. Don't try to attempt full meals, the mere sight of them is enough to put us off when we're anxious. I was on Complans when I was bad with my anxiety..
You're not alone, Jem. You'll come through this...
