Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Today it happened again. I did have an examination and my mindset was ok. I did not feel much stress but then.. 1hour before I had to leave, D attacks. I had to go a few times to the toilet but had to leave for the bus (coach?). 1 hour traveling with the fear of D attacks.. I keep on telling myself in the bus, everything will be fine.. and as always, nothing happened except for the stress which bring this moments. When I am at the location I have to go to the toilet a couple of times again.. I totally failed the examination.. went home, traveling without problem and no D attacks again.

I did the hypno sessions and they helped a lot. But how to deal with these moments. It's in my mind. I know.. I am feeling so much better already but I would love to stay in the relax 'mode', or well not having the D attacks before leaving for the bus before examination. I used to have this moments also before I went by bus to other things. Going into town, to friends and other nice things. That didn't happened anymore for the last 15 times. :-) So I hoped I was cured from this..

Do you recognise this kinda problems and how do you deal with it?
Thanks for reading.
