That sounds just like me! I started experiencing extreme anxiety right after the birth of my daughter. Of course, that was many years ago...I was a very young mother. I managed to get a handle on it by myself, without meds (I despise drugs), along with the help a very good psychologist. We worked with Rational Emotive Therapy, and I learned to deal with it. But, you are right, it seems to increase in intensity every 7-10 years. I wonder what that is all about.
I do agree with you about the life path. I have always felt that your body will let you know when you are not fulfilling your purpose, or maybe on the inside you are not truly happy and fulfilled.
I have suffered from C since I was a little girl. I mean extreme C, but I never knew what it was. I just learned to live with it. Then I had an accident in 2007, and I fractured L2 in my back, and then all of a sudden I was going to the bathroom all the time. It was a time of extreme stress for me both personally and professionally, and I think that is what set it off. Now I kind of flip back and forth, but I have to tell you, I would much rather have the C than the D. The D really cramps you lifestyle.
I don't think food has anything to do with my IBS. I think mine is all mental/emotional, especially anxiety. I remember right after the accident, I would wake up in the morning shaking and trembling, and then I would be in the bathroom all morning. It was just miserable. It eased up somewhat eventually, but I still was dealing with it. So, I ordered the hypnosis CD's, and what a difference they have made. It is a slow process, but I am much, much better.
So, how much did you have to change your diet, and what are your trigger foods.
