Hey Kate..
Girl I can soo relate.. I had several points where I was like that..I would send my hubby to do all the grocery shopping and he would totally get all the wrong things..lol.. I hated that though. I need to look for myself. I also hate that ppl cant rely or count on me for things.. and as far as gift giving I shop online. But now I and a little better and trusting my self more.. but I still only get out like once or twice a week.. but I am getting there..

Have you ever heard of a book called froM Panic to Power by Lucinda Bassett? Or Simple, effective treatment of agoraphobia by claire weekes.. Both of those are really good and have helped me alot.

One thing that has helped me.. is I treat my IBS as just another symptom of my anxiety.. cos mostly its the panic that triggers the IBS.. I mean there are times when its totally just IBS.. but mainly it just being nervous about the IBS. So I have tried to just see it in that sense. And that has help me think that I can control it.
