Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I'm sorry to hear about your troubles. I used to suffer from panic attacks so I can completely empathize. You mentioned going to see a doctor soon for treatment, hopefully you'll be seeing a therapist and a psychiatrist. There are some really good medications to help you deal with panic and anxiety. Even though they also make you sleepy, back when I was having a tough time, I would often take an extra one before something very stressful or right at a very stressful moment and it helped sooo much. Of course, this was at the OK of my doctor. Hang in there. You can overcome anxiety and panic if you put your mind to it. a therapist will also be able to give you ways of coping when you feel one coming on. For example, I have very specific CDs that I would listen to, I wouldn't eat for fear of an IBS attack too, I would often wear a calming fragrant lotion like lavender. You'll find what works for you. Good for you for at least trying. Hope you enjoy the movie. sucks about your husband's job.
