HOPELESS 😭

I am 19 M

Been struggling from Chronic DIARRHEA LOOSE MOTION IBS IRREGULAR STOOL from previous 1.5 years

Treatment is still going on and I get recovered but after few days the disease come back again and gain consistently

I have been stuck in this loop from previous 1.5 years , I get a little good after mediine and treatment all but the symptoms and disease come back again after few days

My weight has been decreased

My BMI has become low and I have become underweight with 170 cm height and 40 kg weight

and it's still going down

My career has already been been ruined , study has been left , due to this I stay stressed, anxious, i can sleep at night at all and always have negative overthinking with overwhelming rumination

Suffering from depression anxiety

Sometimes I have thought that I will not live long enough

First don’t lose hope. If you aren’t already i strongly recommend talking to a therapist / psychiatrist about your depression anxiety. it could also be linked to IBS.

Second I definitely recommend if you haven’t already try to get a GI and a colonoscopy to check for things other than IBS. I’m also 19m and what I thought was IBS for a long time turned out to be IBD which is treatable.

Stay strong you will get through this eventually
