    Hey L,

    Wasn’t sure for the question, I’m single but I do have one of the best friends I ever meet we talk daily but she lives in a different country so we only talk online. If I go to professionals I can’t afford it. (I hate to go to money subjects) I do not work and I can’t even get myself proper clothes, at least I have a place to live with my parents and have food as long I pay the rent. I will ask on a vegan forum and see if anyone ever experienced this because I really feel awful I have no idea what’s up with me, it could be stress but I used to have full blown panic attacks for almost four years and not once I had that many problems with my guts or overall health, though back then I was a meat eater, I could be deficient on something who knows, will do some research. Thank you for your concerns I will let you know when things will settle down. Take care, Luc

    Dear Luc:

    I think I understand your fear.

    You mentioned IBS. There is a very close relationship between distress and the digestive system, including the intestines. Best thing you can do for your digestive system is to relax. There is a lot of information you can find out about your body by relaxing and paying attention to  it. For many years I wasn’t able to do that and believed that there is something terribly wrong with my body. With relaxation and mindfulness (the ability to pay attention, when relaxed), I learned how my body works and how it doesn’t work and that there is nothing fundamentally wrong with how it functions.

    I used to read all the many writings on diet, on what to eat and what not to eat, on what food is the enemy-of-the-day, and I tried some diets that caused me more problems, detox and such. Recently I found out that all the information I need, at this point, is available to me by relaxing and paying attention.

    I’m doing much better, I don’t have any loved ones or professionals, and even if I did I can’t afford. I want to work for myself which takes a bit of time. I kept myself busy these pass days and stopped worrying as much and I was able to sleep better and have less symptoms. Today is a new day and I made two little projects I want to finish, it’s going to be fun.

    Thank you for being concerned for me and wishing me the best, I truly wish you the same. If you want more news from me let me know, take care!

    Dear Luc:

    You are welcome. Thank you for your good wishes. Keep doing what works for you, keeping yourself reasonably busy, having projects, aiming at worrying less and having fun. I hope you post again, any time you would like.
