Hey, all. I've been through the program and my anxiety is lowering.
My problem is that I'll be going along in my life fine, whistling a happy tune, then I'll have a negative thought like, "People are going to know I'm a fraud" or "I'm going to disappoint everyone" and I feel like a knife goes from my mind to my gut. My arms get chilled, my stomach clenches, and I have diarrhea. I've stopped with most of my negative, beat-myself-up thoughts, but it seems that a single, random negative thought will cause me to instantly have diarrhea.
I don't know if I should be taking metamucil or eating bran or whatnot, because 95% of the time I'm fine. It's just those odd times where I go from sunshine and flowers to public washrooms in the blink of an eye.
Can anyone give me any advice?
