Hawkeye,
Wow, I feel like we are one in the same, minus the sexual plumbing. Anyways, I have a similar thing with anxiety- I pretty much have obsessive thoughts most days that i'm going to get the stomach flu or food poisoning. So much so that I eat out maybe once a month tops, and always at one of the same restaurants off a short list I've compiled as "safe" and "clean." If I have the slightest inkling something might be wrong with me i freak out much like you, give myself diarrhea, and cry and hyperventilate...usually to my boyfriend. It's an awful cycle. I hate to say it, but i have smoked pot for relief, only at night if i have no plans, and it usually does the trick. I'm seeking a psychologist now, for help dealing with the anxiety. I'm not a fan of medication, the idea of side effects, really really scares me. Does anyone have advice about seeking psychologists? What to ask and how to decide on one?
