The paranoia is killing me...

Small vent. I'm just frustrated with this condition. I've actually been doing okay, but the paranoia of something happening is killing me. Every rumble, every twinge of discomfort sends anxiety through me. Yesterday I felt my gut rumbling and my first response was fear. Was this the start? Was something bad going to happen?

I was hungry. My stomach was rumbling from hunger. I panicked because I was HUNGRY. Nothing bad happened anyway.

I just can't believe my anxiety over my symptoms has gotten to this point. I'm panicking over my stomach growling from hunger, a super normal feeling that is supposed to happen. I'm so worried about my ibs flare ups that normal bodily sensations are sending me spiraling. This is maddening.

Thanks for listening to my rant, I know it's not a big thing. I just can't get over how stupid it was to panic over hunger. My BMs lately have been fine too, this paranoia will be the death of me. And honestly? I wouldn't be surprised if my paranoia causes me symptoms. This freaking sucks.
