Bowel panic attacks

by Jordan Davies

Hi, I've had IBS for almost a year now and it feels like there is always feels like there is no hope. I often feel upset because I'm 18 years of age and can't even go out on a Friday Saturday night in fear and embarrassment of my IBS. Having IBS in general is horrible itself but for young people like myself who often haven't had a lot of life experience, we don't really get taken seriously by doctors. I also have anxiety and for people have panic attacks can understand just how terrifying they are. I end up having panic attacks whilst in a session of IBS and it amplifies fears. From evidence I have found the subconscious mind has no form of reasoning and will accept whatever the conscious mind tells it. For people like myself IBS can be extremely demotivating but for there to be a chance managing IBS better a positive mind is crucial regardless of how hard a situation feels. Strengthening your stomach muscles can also help improve IBS from what other sufferers have told me and succeeded with. All of us are in this situation together and there WILL come a time where we can look back and explain to others out stories we just have to endure the hard road for a bit. Don't get hooked on that there is no cure. For every man-made problem there Is a man-made solution.

Jordan.
