IBS and Depression?

Hey everyone, i just recently (about a month ago) found this site and drastically changed my diet and eating habits. Its been going pretty well, Ive felt such a huge change as has my husband and co-workers. The problem now is I am so frustrated. I hate eating, I find no joy in mealtime, i hate feeling hungry because I am beginning to feel like my diet is so limited. I hate cooking and rarely due so and that makes choices limited. I feel like i could cry at any moment if i think about food, i hate watching everyone else eat whatever they want without any thought for it. Does anyone else feel this or have gone through this?
I feel like I might need to take meds maybe it would improve my mood and appetite and ability to accept my restrictions, but i feel like meds might also be perceived as a crutch, like I myself cant handle my own feelings and frustrations. How much does depression run with IBS and for how long?
