Wow .....you sound terribly depressed to me (and you mentioned you had your anti-depressants leveled out). I agree with others who question why you only see a Therapist every 3 months ( that sounds more like a medication check than therapy sessions). I also have IBS ( started at age 15 or so, and I am over 50) so I can sure sympathize ! But there are so many different meds and stuff that can help with the IBS. Taking Citrucil keeps my symptoms almost 100% at bay. There are many other prescription meds that could help - but I found Citrucil did the trick for me. Have you tried taking something like that?

How does your Mom have such control over you ?
