I agree with Linz. Please make an appointment to see your family doctor immediately and tell her you are extremely depressed because of your health and ask her to prescribe anti-depressants to help you cope until you can get your health straightened out. Taking anti-depressants to treat your depression is a separate issue from taking anti-depressants to treat your IBS. And make a follow-up appointment. That way if the first anti-depressant your doctor tries doesn't work for you, you're already set up to tell her so and have her try something else.
Hang in there. This Board is a great resource and everyone here is willing to help. Once you get treatment for your depression, you'll have a little more energy for trying some of the suggestions people make.
Interesting hobby, by the way. I was thinking the other day that I needed a new one - maybe I'll try yours. Do I need any special equipment?
