You just described me in a nutshell. Everything you wrote is exactly what I've been going through. For me it just took one too many "close calls" and feeling sick while out to make me start staying home. Then that caused a cycle of stress-driven IBS.

My doctor recommended Prozac. I let it sit in it's little bottle for a month before I finally decided to take it. I've only been taking it for a week now, but it seems to have helped me deal with everyday aggravations better (like when the kids are really really at each other!), but to be honest, I still feel anxious about going places. I guess I was hoping for a miracle.

When I must go into a situation where I feel I'm not in control, (last week I went to the dentist with my three kids - ahhhhh!) I do a lot of deep breathing and try to use positive thoughts. Sometimes it works and sometimes I can't wait to get out of there! Sorry that I can't offer much advice, but maybe it will help to know that you are definately not alone! Maybe we can help each other with this.
