So you take drugs provided by a medical Dr. Hmm. Wouldn't you do the same if you had a heart condition or some other medical condition? I'd think you'd be feeling a little better because you recognize that you have a problem and you have the good sense to begin doing something about it! On top of that, you're looking at your living situation in a healthy manner. Sounds to me like you're on the right track!
One area you might look at is diet. There are quite a few things you can do regarding IBS and many things you can do to cause more problems. You might check out a Dr. that also works with homeopathic remedies. There are many natural ways to help. Everything you put in your body in important and has a huge impact on how you feel and think.
Bottom line: seek help and don't fret over the help you seek. And celebrate the small victories along the way!
P.S. You might also look into yoga and meditation. If you want to manage some of the mental portion yourself meditation can be a great way. But please, keep the pros in the picture as well!
