Mental symptoms of anxiety making ibs and panic worse

I have a habit of making myself so worked up my ibs and panic goes hay wire I had to take double my propranolol because my body is freaking out even tho I have had the propranolol I still physically feel ill (the idea of the propranolol is that my brain wouldn’t make my heart rate fast which would make me freak out which wouldn’t make my belly play up. Even tho the propranolol is stopping the physical symptoms of panic I just can’t shake this ibs pain and symptoms (meaning I can’t go anywhere) my ibs is mainly triggered by stress and anxiety. But I’m not going anywhere new, strange or different. I’m going to get my hair cut it will take 30 mins max probs but I just don’t feel well enough. Will update you guys if I went and how it went. #fuckibsandanxiety
