Have been there a zillion times....then always feel badly after eating what I shouldn't, etc...But, seriously, be kind to yourself....try to find something you enjoy that can take your mind off of things for awhile....listen to music, read a book, take a leisurely bath, etc...Sometimes we get so caught up in all of this we forget there are many things to be thankful for....sending lots of smiles your way

Yes, I was feeling really depressed and frustrated a couple weeks ago about this whole IBS thing. I would also suggest finding something you can induldge in (book, movie, tv show) to take your mind off the situation temporarily. The last time I was feeling like this I just had to go to bed, I was so angry.
You are not alone in this!

Felt this way many times - wanted to give up. Was down to crackers and water and wanted to beat myself up for always eating the wrong thing - but for me - wasnt the food, because I got IBS symptoms with everything I ate.
((HUGS)) to you guys - there IS hope... find your way, and dont give up! You are just being human and it isnt easy to have a condition long term... it is natural to feel depressed when you dont feel well. hang in there..

Oh you're not alone. I'm a guy ,27. Depressed and was diagnosed with anxiety disorder and i owe a lot of it to IBS. I'm rather isolated socially because of it, people my age like to drink and party. I can't do it because of IBS. So yeah for me ibs has been a major issue. It's just now i found this webpage and forum, still waiting for the books i ordered
But i have decided to go on depression medicine for the anxiety.
Hope that will ease the stomach, at least my mind.
I'm glad that i found some people who share my problem. Feels good to know you're not alone.
But to answer your question i reccommend like people said something to take your mind of things. Hot bath, good book, meditation,.
