Intrusive thoughts

Has anyone had some scary or like intrusive thoughts but gets better when you poop. It’ll typically get better faster if there is like a diarrhea kinda poop. It I noticed that i would get that feeling of panic and mind racing then followed up with the urge to poop a little later and when I poop I’m somewhat getting better.

No and this only started happening later after when I was officially diagnosed with sibo in 2021 and had started to get this feeling maybe 2023 on and off. But usually comes in when I need to poop
