Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Really stressed out, need some help

Ok, here goes. i haven't done this yet, so I figure i'm due. Lately i've been very stressed. My family doesn't really know or understand about my stupid spastic colon. Just went to a new doctor today and had a bunch of blood drawn and am going back next week for the results. Of course, while i'm in the office trying to explain to her what my symptoms are and everything, I break into tears. I did mangage to tell her about my sister's anxiety and of course how much I have. My stomach is the very first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning. You know how they say men think about sex every 6 seconds? Well thats how often I think about my stomach. Every single thing I put into my mouth, I worry about how it will effect me later.
These are just a few things that I have going on in my life right now. Recently graduated college and started new stressful job, got married a month ago, moved into new apt month and a half ago, have been pressured my whol life by my mother to show horses (was in therapy in highschool for that), have a 1/2 hour commute in Milwaukee traffic (largest city in Wisconsin) and both my husband and I have new cars to pay for.
whew, anyway, if anyone has any advice they can give me, now would be a great time!
I'm headed to bed now, it's only 10pm, but it's been a long day and I have a headache, which I normally don't ever get... Tylenol is safe to take right?

Thanks for listening, well reading.
