Bad day

[Gillyflower18]

Having a difficult day with my other anxiety inducing condition ibs. It’s been really bad today. I have ibs c and anxiety just makes it worse bloating etc. it just makes me want to cry. I took some Miralax. Big mistake just made everything worse. Anyone else have this to contend with? Some days you just want to give up.

Hi Spinner

Yes I can totally empathise! I suffer from IBS as well as anxiety and depression and one does affect the other badly. I get really bloated (which is very noticeable because I'm quite thin) as well as other IBS symptoms despite changing my diet around, taking supplements, etc, it all still remains. I get so tremendously fed up with it that it becomes a bit of a vicious cycle of each thing aggravating the other. You're not alone in it at all so always feel free to come back here and vent some of your feelings on it

Thank you. It’s good to know you are out there. It’s a really bad weekend with no one to talk to. I get very discouraged.

Practice as much love love and compassion to yourself as you would to others. Hopefully the week will see things improve for you. I know it's not easy.
