Indeed, you are not alone in this. I fear not knowing where the nearest toilet/restroom is located and not being near it--even when I'm stable. It is an obsessive-compulsive anxiety, and seriously I take pills--Buspar--to help me deal with my intense anxiety re: IBS. This anxiety negatively influences my IBS and my self-esteem. Now, I'm able to live more beyond IBS and just deal with it as it happens. Without getting into too many intricate details, a lot of eating/food/ family/friend situations are affected by my IBS. I miss out. Now, I miss out less. I do more and well
Heather's diet significantly helps, too. I go to Yoga class. I go for long walks. I socialize 100% more. I'm able to think and function beyond IBS, except when I have attacks and then I work to stabilize myself a.s.a.p. Prescriptions are not the total answer, but they help ease alot of the psychic stress that influences IBS...the depression and the anxiety/obsessive-compulsive nature. Diet, lifestyle...and, pardon me, a sense of humour. There is no miracle drug...
