I saw this website advertised on another online community, and I wanted to see what it was all about. I really enjoy connecting with people who are struggling or have struggled with the same things I have. I hope that I can be a helpful part of this group.
I live in Central FL and have recently been re-diagnosed from Clinically Depressed to BiPolar Disorder. I’m learning how to correctly handle my condition and find it’s best to have people with the same conditions who I can talk to.
I’ve had Addison’s for 23 years…
I am a verbal abuser and have other narcissistic tendencies. In dealing with these issues, I hope to become a better man, and a more loving and caring husband and father. Part of this will include being honest about this with others who are interested in the topic, and just general discussion about it.

I am a happily married 30 year old man. I have recently been dealing with severe anxiety and nervousness for some unknown reason. I am here to discuss what might be causing this feeling.
My 21 year old son is an addict, marijuana is his drug of choice and I believe he is bipolar. He is going into a 30 day program to be diagnosed properly.
Your profile list doesn’t offer anything but alcohol under adiction and bipolar is not a choice under mental health either. Is there any reason why?

Welcome dobieluv-
So have you had any luck with any treatments for your IBS? Do you suffer from anxiety as well due to the IBS? Curious if everyone kind of deals with the same things or not. I am reading a book i found called Romance, Riches and Restrooms, the memoir for some guy who has IBS and struggles to find love and a career while dealing with IBS and a lot of his issues seem pretty similiar to what i go through. I am curious if everyone who ends up with bowel trouble also deals wth the psychological issues and anxiety due to fearing the next attack. i have become very anxious and fearful all of the time because of this and wonder if everyone has that problem.

the story sounds the same as mine - anxiety triggering episodes in situations that are especially tough - on a commute train, in an important meeting, while the airplane is taxiing…it just runs my life. i haven’t really found any treatments that prevent the attacks, have you?

No. I just avoid a lot of foods that I know will upset my bowels, but as far as the anxiety or stress triggered attacks, i haven’t found anything. I am actually in the process of buying a camper van with a toilet in it because i have a really difficult time driving cause i am always terrified i am going to have an attack while i am away from a toilet or get stuck in traffic. I had a really bad incident on the way home from Mexico while we were stuck in traffic at the border for hours and it was horrible and humiliating and i think i have like post traumatic disorder or something because now i am just terrifed of being in that situation again. Driving anywhere farther than a couple minutes from my house puts me into a panic.

I completely understand. My husband knows that road trips are the worst with me. Travel in general is the worst.
As far as anxiety goes - my doctor put me on a low dosage of lorazepam and lexapro. As soon as my nerves start going crazy it’s a matter of time before I have to find the nearest bathroom. So far those two seemed to have helped my commute. I used to have to get off the train at least once everyday before reaching the office. Now I’m making door to door (knock on wood).

i’ve suffered social anxiety every since I can remember. I’ve took several different medications to try and alleviate this disorder, even turned to drugs at one time, then had to go to re-hab to get them out of my system. This disorder has ruined my life. Any information I can get from this group will be really appreciated. I’m on disability because of social anxiety and am even sometimes even don’t even go around family members because it’s so bad.
I am excited about this new site/group. I have had IBS since I was about 8 years old, however it was only diagnosed about 3 years ago and I am now 50. I found it very frustrating not knowing what was wrong with me for so long. I have other health thingys going on too, but I find IBS the most dibilitating with trying to stay a full time working person. I am guilty of not posting often @ the yahoo site, but hope to make some changes to that soon.
kronnshark has IBS ruled by D and has seen many doctors with little results. Meds dont help, special diets dont help even tried a mental doctor. what works for others?
