I'm sure it's not all in your head. Keep looking for an answer. But I would highly recommend seeing someone as well. I started seeing a psychologist in May. It has made a HUGE difference for me. I thought my anxiety/depression was caused by my IBS...I was wrong...my IBS was caused by an increase in my anxiety/depression (started when I started college). And then as the IBS got worse, so did the anxiety...you get the picture. It just keeps getting worse and worse...one feeds off the other. It took me a while to realize and accept that my anxiety has manifested itself physically in me...IBS. So by learning to control my anxiety, my IBS is decreasing. I'm not saying it will cure everything, but I would definitely give it a shot. It can't hurt, right? And we all need help dealing with this daily battle. It's not easy. But with all the things I've tried I think that was my biggest step towards starting to feel better. And it's nice to be able to talk to someone...just let it all out. I strongly encourage it!
