I have been dealing with Crohn's for about 18 years with it becoming worse in the last 3, I am on Humira and 6MP (just recently started both). But does anyone have any feedback on dealing with the anxiety of going out and about. Like a lot of people with crohn's I become very anxious and stressed out whenever I go out, in turn I end up making myself rush to the bathroom just by becoming focused on "where is the closest bathroom, or what if I need to go while we are at the grocery store, etc" I am trying a hypnotherapist who explains that the crohns ends up being the manifestation of the stress and anxiety when I go out or when I am stressed at work. Has anyone had any success with treating anxiety in association with crohn's? Thanks for any input.
