Anxiety Disorder? IBS?!
Question: I'm always nervous! Especially in the morning. I wake up every morning at 6:30a.m., eat breakfast, and by the time I get to school at 7:30a.m. my stomach feels like a battle is going on in there! I always have a nervous/anxious feeling in me and little things stress me out. My stomach aches in the morning usually turn into bowel movements and other times my nervousness stays with me all day. Do I have IBS or even an anxiety disorder? Should I seek medical help soon? It's been going on since I was in middle school and i am now a freshman in college.

A trip to the doc is never a bad idea. You could indeed have an anxiety disorder, and IBS is common. There are meds for both problems...
Welcome, I know how you feel. I have Crohn's Disease so I know what you mean by a battle going on in there. IBS sounds like your problem. They can put you on antidepressant meds to slow the contractions of your guts!
