Hi - Like most of you I never connected my IBS w/ Anxiety. The truth is that when you get tense, your stomach muscles do too and hang on to everything that in your stomach & intestines. It's having all that old "stuff" (sorry I know that sounds gross) in there that causes the gas and bloating. I use...

Hi Sunbound - You're absolutly right, my anxiety will follow me regardless of where I am. The tears are mostly just frustration and fear. I think that positive what if'ing is going to be helpful. One of the things I need to remeber is to go easy on myself. I tend to beat myself up for having anxiety...

I really hope I'm not overstaying my welcome with this thread, but the tears started again last night. You know how w/ panic or generalized anxiety, you connect events and emotions. So if you had a panic attack while driving, you suddenly become scared of driving. I'm making that same association wi...

A11 - It take alot of guts to move and to make the commitment to yourself to stay in school, you should be proud of yourself. Anxiety and fear are part of everyday life. And if you're just starting the program and already realizing that, you're in great shape :)

Thanks Emily Scnauzer and Sunbound - The depession has eased quite a lot, I haven't wept since Saturday and I think that means the breakdown process is moving along, which I see as good because that means it will eventually burn itself out. The tears have turned into insomnia and generalize high anx...

Hi Sunbound - Yes, your words absolutely help :) Compassion and common sense, 2 things that never fail :) I guess the trick is to remember that during these situations.
