I am feeling like cr@p all over my body, I am so sick and tired of all of this IBS I could kick a brick. But, I won't because then I would just hurt my foot and bring on all kinds of other problems.
I am on the boards all of the time, but I don't respond much, I just don't feel like it.
I will be back to posting when I feel better, when will that be??
I am just sick of it all !!
thbbbbbthththht!!!!

Boy, do I ever understand how you feel! Listen, we ALL understand how you feel! We're all in the same boat. And we're all sick of being sick.
But I get incredible support from these boards, AND the realization that others have it much worse than I. It makes me see that if they can do it, I can too.
And so can you. Believe me, as bad as you feel, and I'm sure it's bad, there are others worse off (believe it or not). I keep mentioning this, and I hope I don't sound like a broken record, but I'll never get over Christopher Reeve -- and what about Ellison, the gal who was the inspiration for Reeve's last movie that he directed? Wow, what a story!
Listen, we can do this. Please don't think you should only post when you're feeling better -- we're here to support you and help you if we can. Lets help each other, because many times I'm sick and feeling like it'll never end, then I come online here and everyone makes me feel so much better.

hi Gayla.
Sounds like you and I are in the same boat right now. I've been feeling a bit sorry for myself, and just tired of being sick. I know we're supposed to be all grown up and not act like babies, but sometimes it feels good to kick and scream and tell somebody we're just tired of it!
I hope this is just a phase and we'll get over it, but in the meantime, just remember that I'm thinking of you and I really do understand how you feel. Seems like if it's not one thing, it's something else; ALL the time. You're probably like me, in that there's things wrong, that I don't talk about on these boards. It's not just ibs, or just sinus infections or shingles or pain or whatever. It's other things too.
I don't understand why I'm sinking in the mire of my own negative thoughts and feelings. I'm usually positive. What's going on with us? Is it my age or what?
How about if I pray for you and you pray for me?
I'll be thinkin of ya,
Terri

I do realize that there are so many people in much worse shape than I am in. I dare not complain to my h, he is the first to show me the people who are less fortunate and suffering. I know better, but dang, it just hit me today and I had to whine a little bit (dont tell my grandsons, they think I don't like whiners, and I don;t allow it in my house....duh).
You are all so wonderfully supportive, what would I do without you! I am leaving in the morning with 7 other women for a retreat!! I am so looking forward to it, I hope we get to eat some good food, (listen to me, all I think about is the food).
Everyone who knows me, when they see me at a wedding they automatically know I showed up for the cake!!!! hahahaha.
I love you all, we need to stick together and take the best care of each other possible. Thanks for the kind words.
Have a great weekend!!! gayla

Serious fun.
Hey, make it float your boat. Being a depressive I have to remind myself that it's OK to have fun. -and, finding it gets better with practice.
Do you have neighbors who get on your nerves??? I sure do... Egg their car, teepee their house, or scare their pets... Whatever it takes to have a good laugh.
PS: No animals were harmed in this post.
Bob.

This is what I do sometimes when I feel feeling rotten. I do everything like I did when I was a kid and sick. If I don't wanna get up, I say NO! and cuddle down under the duvet with my teddy-bear. And I drag my duvet downstairs and make a bed on the sofa to watch cartoons and films. And just generally be very selfish as kids tend to be!  The next day I usually feel like growing up again!

Who on earth made the silly rule that we have to be grownups all the time, anyway?!
I do the same thing. I curl up downstairs on the couch with a bunch of blankets and pillows, shut off the phone and refuse to do anything productive or responsible, and bust out my copy of Where the Sidewalk Ends (one of my favorite childhood books), and eat nothing but chocolate-applesauce muffins & oven fries all day, if that's what strikes my fancy. Shel Silverstein and "junk food" (hey, it's safe junk food!) always do the trick; by the end of the day, I feel better for having indulged my inner 6-year-old.
But anyway... Gayla and Terri, *big hugs* to you both... hope you're on the upswing soon!

Whenever I feel down like that, I just elbow someone in back on the subway. That always makes me feel better. Okay, seriously what I do is just chill. I will watch one of my favorite DVD (Braveheart, Gladiator etc) while laying on the couch eating IBS-safe junk good. That always makes me feel better.
Go ahead and indulge in being a kid again. We only get one shot at this life. Make it count.
