Its definitely an easier life style, and after doing it for a while - most things patients come in with are routine and have easy to spot patterns. Boring though! And with the nhs and reforms and all that jazz, i wonder how long it will remain cushty. They've already increased training time from 3yrs to 5 now I think (for the better imo). GPs are mini businesses, but when your customers are patients, its a tricky one!
I can see how that must be difficult for you. Is it a psychiatrist you have been referred to?
From my relatively limited exposure to mental health so far, I know they can prescribe SSRIs (anti-depressants) for OCD which can help take the edge off obsessive thoughts. Then of course, you also have the benefit of the med helping your mood directly and indirectly - if you are able to cope better at home with those around you due to the reduced ocd symptoms.
Cbt is supposedly the best long term solution for ocd, helping suffers to deal with the intrusive thoughts and urges.
The bowel has a complex nervous system of its own if you like, as well as being linked to the brain. So with your chronic (long term) stress and anxiety issues, it can obviously royally fk things up. IBS is what they tend to diagnose in people who have bowel problems but without any kind of obvious other problems - coeliacs/crohns etc. Have you been ruled out for other bowel problems?
