back to work tomorrow. Anxiety? IBS? HELP

Yes anxiety can be major part to IBS, i have IBS due to worrying all the time.... maybe go to doctors just to make sure and they can give you some medication to help it.

Worry and anxiety is very draining on your energy levels, plenty carbs needed, bananas are great also. 

I know from experience that worry and anxiety does effect the digestive system and can make you go more (body wants to get rid of anything not needed for fight or flight) hence the term "sh1t yourself" when frightened. It can also cause the opposite constipation as the digestive system slows down when in an anxious state.

Your return to work and worry is I guess understandable given the experience but I find the worry is often worse than how you feel when you get there.

Worry and anxiety in itself blows things out of proportion so you could write down what your worried about and consider if it's realistic or just your head exaggerating things.

i don't know what it us your worried about but go to the website Centre for Clinical Interventions which has work modules on worrying, "what worry me" I think it's called, and how to control it and look at it in a positive light, it's not a quick hit but sounds like if you work through it it might help you short - long term especially if stomach troubles due to stress and anxiety.

 

I have learned to let go and let God. God will heal you in his time. Just except the anxiety and change the way you think. Its a habit . You have to change the habit. It takes time and there are setbacks but you can do it. I suffered severely, lost weight, tried medicine and felt out of control and a prisioner of my own thoughts. But now I don't question my anxiety levels all day and don't think about how I feel. I replace it with positive thinking, prayer, faith and stay busy. Good luck .
