I felt like I was reading about myself a few years back. Know that you are not alone. Please take Planning's advice and get into some therapy for yourself even if he won't go. It is great that you came here and opened up...that is showing a lot of strength and be proud of yourself for doing that.
You can vent and share with us all that you need to...we are here to listen and support. Noone will judge you. I have IBS myself too and stress is a major culprit of it. Are you seeing your doctor soon? He/she can help you with this as well.
Please know that there are so many here that care for you and your well being. You are important and don't forget that.

Take care and keep us posted.
Hugs
Heather
