I suffer with IBS-D, i have had it for 10 years, this has been very bad all this year, and has caused me to become very anxious and depressed. I hardly ever go out as i am frightened i will need the toilet while out and not make it in time, and then the anxiety makes the ibs-d worse. I get so coiled up like a spring, and i get the feeling no one not even my doctor seems to understand how this makes me feel. I am taking anxiety meds and am on a waiting list for face to face cbt. I cant even go out to appointments on my own as i get so uptight, i havnt worked since february and the thought of getting a job when i am fit to work terrifies me and is making the anxiety worse.
