You and I are pretty similar, it sounds I do generally eat more when I'm anxious, except when I'm so anxious that I dont even feel like eating
I do some similar things, like go in the bathroom and play gameboy, or listen to music and lie down. Either way, Id like to start practicing more coping strategies and ways to relax, whether its deep breathing, visualization, relaxation, or anything else
Id like to pose another question How do you guys deal with negative thoughts? When I start to get IBS symptoms, I can't help but obsess with them. I feel a symptom, and imagine the worst case scenario. In the process, I usually visualize negative symptoms or feelings I would have in my gut. I feel like I might have to go cold turkey and, if my diet is OK, simply not think about IBS at all. Even if I try to assess how my IBS is, it leads me down a negative path
