Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | I had sucha odd day yesterday, whatdya think??

Well doing all my diet and herb requirements.
It payed off yesterday.
I had to clothes shop for my kids yesterday.
The whole long drive there I had none, or very mild IBS symptoms, felt pretty calm overall.

BUT I was almost having panic attacks tho!!

I dunno what was wrong!!

It's like after 2yrs of IBS my brain just habitually gets nervous when out somewhere EVEN without any IBS!
I mean sheesh my heart was racing, my hands shaking, my mouth dry, I could not concentrate well...and my tummy was all in nervous knots!!

You'da thought I was going to see the Dentist or my mother in law or somethin!
But no it was just to a wonderfull favorite store of mine I love to shop at, I had NOTHING to worry bout!!!!!

My IBS remained pretty decent all the while Praise The Lord!!!
And yet I had gotten so tense that I was even nauseas and afterwards my shoulders and tummy hurt so bad!

When I was finnaly calm and at home like an hour later....I had diarhea.
*rollz eyes*

So despite my IBS getting better and more stable every month....my anexiety gets worse!
I feel like if I had to face something truly scary I'd have a full blown panic attack!

Oh and yes...I am going out to walk every morning with Yoga beforehand. I've done alotta mental work too, mediating breathing exersizes...yeah...works briefly but not enough.

So what should I do??
Should I ask Dr bout getting on Traqulizers??
Would I get hooked on them and always need them or could I take them and then ease out of it??

I just find the irony lousy!
I get IBS stable but for so long have been so used to feeling anxoious when out that now I feel no more control at all.

*weep*

So I've taken so much of the IBS diet advice....now wtf do I do bout the fear??
