Anxiety Leads to Tummy Problems Posted: 06-20-07 16:47pm
I have constant anxiety. I feel anxious
when i go anywhere. It started when i
started college. That was 3 years ago. At
the time i had panic attacks, but thank
g-d i have gotten that under control
without any medication. However, lately
when i feel anxious my stomach starts
bothering me. This makes me have to go to
the bathroom. The problem is that i am
embarrassed to do #2 in public places or
by people's houses. This leads me to have
even more anxiety. This is why i stopped
going lots of places even though i want to
go out and do things. Is there anything
that i can do about this? I would rather
not take medication.

The only non drug treatment with a good
track record is one or other variant of
cognitive and behavioral therapy, CBT
itself, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy,
etc. Ask your doctor to recommend a
therapist in your area.

I used to have the same problem as a child
and young adult.
I think it was a worry thing always
wishing and hoping things would be right.
Than one day, I lost my mind.
Probably the best thing that ever happened
to me.
Because, than, or now.
I never worry myself sick any more.
I don't care what people think.
And the higher power is around me; my
family, my surroundings, my friends and
those that I come in contact with on a
daily basis.
