Well I can relate to what you said here! Some days I'm stuck pretty much to my bed, except for the dashing trips to the bathroom. I do know what I can eat, but don't have the energy to get up and make it for myself.
I have no help around here, live alone, and no understanding neighbors, friends, nor relatives. Some days I wish they would simply leave me some low-fat, low-sodium chicken broth on my porch. I would appreciate that, given I have to drive 30 minutes each way in my rural area to buy anything in the way of food.
I guess some of us feel depressed and discouraged at times. Overcoming IBS is something that requires attention and seemingly significant time and money shopping for foods that we can safely eat and easily prepare.
I honestly don't have anyone in my life at this time locally who understands this.
