Cyndy has given you some great advice. Please consider getting some additional help for your anxiety, depression. And I also agree that many answers can be found just by taking a deep breadth and reading the older posts, Heathers books, and all her helpful links and posts at the top of the board.
I just feel so badly for you. I know where you're at, honestly. We are very similar in our situations and desparation for relief. We both are trying to pursue answers to help our physical and emotional suffering...to the point that it may be becoming counter productive.
I too am sick. I am desparate for answers. I am depressed, anxious, and so eager for help of any kind. I spend so much time seeking for outside answers, but trying to come to turn more inward now. It is hard. It is so hard.
I also stopped working in order to get a better "grip" on my health situation and you know what happened? I got sicker. I spiraled into a worse, more chronic pain and symptoms. I started back to work Part Time, and I am attempting to work FT now. While it is hard and I may be more stressed, it is an escape and I am not allowing the IBS to rule my ability to perform at least one "normal" activity. Yes, it ruins most other social activities, and most non-working hours are spent with a heating pad and surfing the net for answers. But I think working PT was better than not working at all.
Please consider all the helpful info all the loving folks on this board have offered to you. This board has the most caring, supportive people I know. They really care about each other.
I hope we can grow and experience some relief (emotional and physical) soon.
