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

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 toΒ 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.

February 3, 2018 at 1:29 am #190407LucParticipantI’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!

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.
