I definately have antisipatory anxiety...when we go out I always am thinking about it. when at home, Im like ok so i went to the bathroom and knowing Im home I usually will not get nervous and not have to go more than once but if I do its not as bad, but I do tend to beat myself up over this alot...It like I know Im a strong person why cant I get ahold of this....I really helped myself with the panic disorder...that wasnt easy!!!!!!I had gotten to the point that i could be alone, I couldnt drive, etc, etc, etc but I conquered that, Im not saying I dont have hard days when it comes to that. I will always have it and have to deal with it....if i can do that why not IBS.
Bevrs- Thanks for all the great ideas...Im going to start walking after Christmas...But I am going to go palates and yoga in the house...I might even go ahead and start...I bought 2 tapes..one I just got and the other Ive had. and if it rains Im going to do a little step arobics inside.
Thanks everyone else 
I also take zoloft and have since 1996. The Drs said I will always have to be on it cause I have a chemical imbalance...and I dont make enough seretonin in my brain and when Im stressed its easilyu depleated...I do remember her telling me that 100 mg was the usualy dose, Im on 75 I may need to go up. to 100. Its not that I dont think its working just need a little more, maybe. I wouldnt change unless it was a HAVE too...hopefully I wont. the first week was hard...it made me feel awful til my body got used to it
