Yep - most Monday mornings. Seriously. Don't look forward to work on Sunday pm. Also throughout the week but not as bad, and under certain circumstances. I asked the nurse if it was IBS and she said 'just stress'.

[Gretch in reply to PoppyRose]

Hi poppy rose,dont you just hate this anxiety stuff. Did the nurse give you any tips on getting rid of it?

Cheers for now

Hi Gretch,

Yes mine comes and goes.

Well the major thing was to sort out the issues causing the stress/anxiety in my life...??!!*+" like relationship problems - work and home, work life balance, confidence and self esteem building, lack of sleep, find a new job, lose weight, resolve/work on all my Thyroid symptoms so that I DON'T ask again for higher dose - a trial of a higher dose would rid most of the symptoms.

The booklet wasn't really useful, sleep, eat, exercise, breathe, socialise, don't be too hard, talk to others, share problems... etc... a booklet which I had read in various forms elsewhere. It went in the bin a couple of weeks ago whilst clearing out.

HI, ibs and stomach pains and noises are aking my anxiety so much harder to handle cos it makes me not want to go out and i really need to get out more.............then i get stressed about the whole situation and around and around we go again. x

[PoppyRose in reply to Pickle165]

... sounds familiar.... at least you have identified it.

[Gretch in reply to Pickle165]

Hi Sam,just the same as me! As you say round & round we go,I wish I could get rid of it. I went for hypnotherapy today I dont know if it will help but I will try anything to try to beat this anxiety.One good thing about the session boy was I relaxed when I came out of there. I will write tomorrow & let you know if it made any difference.

Cheers for now
