has anyone developed ibs/digestive issues suddenly due to anxiety or stress? i'd like to hear how that went for you.

i only ask because i'm developing major health anxiety. every twinge and every pain, i think it's pregnancy. i've had 3 periods since my last sexual encounter and i'm on birth control. i became overly constipated which caused lots of issues right after my period in march. it concerned me and i just haven't let the thought go. i haven't been active during the quarantine and i'm a smaller girl but my stomach pokes out and is bloated and feels firm sometimes. i've wasted money on cheap tests and spend countless hours reading stories about women who were pregnant and didn't know or they developed stomach issues then realized they were pregnant. i cant get my mind to shake it. i just want one day 😭

and i do go to therapy and was prescribed anxiety medicine (which helps me sleep) but i've been trying so hard. i delete this app everyday lol
