Awww so sorry you are having a rough time. I can relate. Do you think that because you had your hysterectomy that you were focused so much on that and recovering that your IBS and Anxiety were kinda on the "back burner". I tend to do that. If I'm focused on another issue of my body (like when I had mono or the kidney stone) I had next to nothing IBS issues and my anxiety was kinda gone. Then as soon as it straightens out, BAM all comes back! Perhaps it is your hormones too since having the hysterectomy. Doc's should be able to get them straightened out with some kind of hormonal therapy.
I too battle anxiety and don't take meds for it. I'm kind of like you, I don't want to have to take anything but if it's just temporary to get you back on track then maybe you should go back on it for just a little while. I feel for you though because I know it is frustrating. My anxiety comes and goes and I get so mad when it comes. I saw a psychologist years ago and he did teach me some techniques(coginitive therapy). I however, only have general axiety.I'm not sure how severe yours is but I hope that you'll be able to keep battling it without the meds but if be it, and you have to start up the meds again, don't beat yourself up about it. Just think of it being a temporary thing HOpe you are feeling better real soon!
