Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | I COMPLETELY missed this...I'm sorry *hugs*

I'm am thrilled you are asking me! People on the boards helped me get diagnosed...and I'm thankful to them and happy to help in any way I can *big hugs*

I'm not sure where to begin answering your question! Can you perhaps ask me things more specifically? If it's too personal...e-mail me! Ruchily@yahoo.com

In general...I obsess about things...everything from "did I say the right thing" to "obsessing about food" and lots of stuff in between! (I'm only giving general stuff here...not comfortable being too specific on the boards but would be ok to be more descriptive in e-mail.)

GAD. Oh my! I can be agoraphic and WANT to go out but CAN'T..

I get anxious that I'll be on the toilet for hours (I'm IBS A...mostly C and as a child I woulod be at a restaurant for HOURS in agony on the toilet...I don't get scared of this much anymore but when I'm unstable it can come back.) I get anxious that I'm not good enough or perfect enough.

I hope this helps? LOL See...I'm anxious I'm not being helpful enough!

Meds are helping me catch myself when I'm anxious...and so is therapy..I have a super therapist. I'm learning a lot. I'm finding things to do to calm myself and learning how to relax and choose healthy choices.

Really though AShley...let me know if I can tell you more privately...I'd be more than happy to, ok *hugs* Good for you for asking questions and learning and being open...you rock!!!

Sendiong you lots of love,

Ruch
