Ya know....everyone with IBS has different triggers, different symptoms, different anxieties, etc.
But the one underlying thing that is the same is that we are all worriers. Seems like everyone here worries about things they cannot control, like what other people think. I'm working on that right now with my therapist. He made me describe myself - and I said everything bad about my appearance. Finally he said, 'Can you say one good thing about the way you look'. I was crying really hard and SO scared to say that I think I have a pretty face. It was SO hard to say. Embarrassing to me that I should even think that. He made me realize that I am very negative about myself. We need to remember that EVERYONE has things they want to change about their appearance. No one is perfect, and no one ever will be. We need to be proud of the qualities we do like!
That's a post we should start...what do you LOVE about yourself??  And don't say that you love that you make other people happy!!! It should be something totally conceited, and you shouldn't feel bad...
It's really hard for me to do. But if I had to pick things I love about myself, I'd say I love my eyes and my legs. I've always gotten compliments on my eyes, and I have really long legs.
Why is that so embarrassing to admit? It's something I have to work on.
So how about - what would you change, but what do you love about yourself??

Ok, I'll bite with this one.................I hate that I am too skinny. I can not gain weight no matter how hard I try. I'm 5 foot & only 93lbs. I hate how people never feel bad for me either that I'm thin. And I also hate how people think they have the right to ask me how much I weigh. I would never ask a heavy person that question. I guess unless you are thin you can't understand....
I do, however, like (sorry.......)that I have big boobs for my size. I am a 34C and I guess cause I'm thin, that feature tends to stick out  .
If I could change things on my body it would be my legs. Always wanted cheerleader legs. And also my stomach! I want a new internal one. Get rid of my IBS.

I think I would give myself the ability to "let go." I'm not referring to grudges but to a general inability to just enjoy life as it happens without making judgments, worrying, and overthinking things.
I'd love to be that laid-back, accepting person just for a day!

... and if nobody's beat me to it by the time I get back, I'm going to steal your idea and run with it!
We (and I mean that as people as a whole, and not the people on this board) spend so much time critiquing ourselves and focusing on the "negative"... isn't it funny how weird it feels to admit that we like ourselves?

i would be more disciplined and i would also open up more easily to men i am involved with (i tend to be quite closed-off). i would also be better at small-talk (which i'm god-awful at!).
as paradoxical as it seems, i'm putting a lot of work into not over-thinking things and making fusses about things that haven't happened yet.

Ah, I see. I got to this one second after the 'what I like about myself' one. It all makes sense now.
There are a couple of things I would change about my personality if I could. Probably the first would be to be better organized - I'm not horrible but I could be much better that I am. Second to that would be to lose my tendency to procrastinate. It's really one of those things that kill me in retrospect. To wind it up I wish I was a little more empathic than I am - my sister is a master of 'feeling people's pain' and I wish I had inherited more of that gift.
