Has anybody else experienced this?

Have experienced anxiety since November. This now seems to have been replaced by depression where I find I have no motivation to do anything? I think anxiety and depression are linked but I find myself really surprised by the way I am feeling now. Is this normal?

I think it can be common with depression and anxiety. I started with anxiety and it also developed into bouts of depression as well

Thank you and with IBS thrown into the mixture it is all rather grim.

Any time I get a “stomach bug” my anxiety increases! I know that’s not IBS but I wonder if something happens in the brain when our digestive track is off??

I think I have read that the gut flora influence the brain. Sometimes the more we learn the more confusing it is

Thank you for your reply.

Hi Forestina, I suffer really bad from anxiety and depression, I could sleep all day and easily not get out of bed. I just had a son 4 weeks ago and I don't even want to look at him so you not the only one who suffers from this.
