Severe anxiety and gastro issues
Post Body

25F 5’2” approximately 104 lbs, white.

I have severe anxiety which has increased significantly along with depression in the past couple months due to life things. I also have severe emetophobia :( during this time I’ve also had diarrhea a few times, and since an upsetting event approximately a week ago I’ve had it pretty frequently. I typically tend more towards constipation, and I’ve had that quite a bit as well. I’ve also started a couple new meds (magnesium and sumatriptan) but the timing of the episodes doesn’t seem obviously correlated with medications or panic/attacks.

The other thing that concerns me is that approximately once or twice a year since about 5 years I’ll feel the need to have a bowel movement but pass only a very small amount of clear fluid. In the past few months it’s happened a couple times, and my doctor said to come in but I can’t get an appointment with anyone at all for over a month.

I’m wondering if anyone has any advice for me while I’m waiting to see a doctor? Objectively things are not that bad but I’m trapped in a vicious cycle of anxiety/depressio, gastro issues, and migraines that’s limiting my ability to work and my quality of life. I need help and don’t know what to do :(
