Nugget, you did GOOOOOD! I'm really impressed! You must be quite an artist.
And see, you did it without drugs, without OTC stuff, without anything but your talent!
Now, tell me, how are you feeling? How's the anxiety? The stress? Panic attacks?
Congratulations, Girlfriend, I'm really proud of you. You proved to us -- and yourself -- that you can do it.
Your friend,
Bev

Honey, what I meant was: how are you feeling now that you've succeeded so well, now that you've proven yourself, shown that you can do the meeting without any help from drugs, etc. I would think the stress and anxiety, after such a successful meeting, would be non-existent. No? Did I miss something?
If not, then there's something else going on here, Nugget...

Hmm... considering this is a board for complaining you'd have to be REALLY spectacular to earn that title. So I don't think it's either of you (and hopefully not me).

You guys are so silly. You mean to tell me you really don't know who it is? I would have thought it's obvious.
That's right; we all complain. That's what we do here. We also offer help and constructive advice. Then there are some people who don't want the help or constructive advice, all they want to do is suffer and complain and wallow in self-pity. No matter how encouraging you are to them, it's not what they want to hear. You can offer them support until you're blue in the face, and it's not enough.
In the short time I've been on the boards, with all your help and Heather's, and Michael's, I've gotten 95% better. This person -- who was here before me -- has gotten absolutely nowhere; if anything, the person has gotten even worse.
I'm sorry for the person, I truly am, because the person will never get better. It's more important to the person to wallow in self pity than to TRY to get better.
But it just proves that Heather was right all along -- because that's exactly what she told me when I first joined.
Bev

....I was at work and someone came in the room...so I had to enter my post as it was before they saw my computer screen....but I'm home now...and yes, I do feel good that I got through the meeting without any drugs other than 2 Imodium. Thanks for the boost of confidence. Yes, I'm proud of myself. Thanks to all the support I receive in this board. {{{{{hugs}}}}}

I think I know exactly who you are talking about....because I've felt the same way about that person. They aren't here very often, but when they are it isn't good.

Oh I know Bev... I just think that every once and awhile we all worry because in our society it's such a bad thing to complain and be honest about your feelings. It's hard to accept that there's a place where it's ok as long as you don't dwell in your misery. After all, I know that at least for me it took a long time to find a place where people even understood my medical stuff, let along were sympathetic, you know?

Yes, it's nice to finally have a place where people understand and can offer constructive suggestions. I know I was reluctant to join an IBS board as I thought everyone would be down and out all the time and it would only make me feel worse. Everyone here I've seen really wants to get better and even if they do complain they are also looking for help. As soon as I read a few posts I thought, gee these people are nice, friendly, positive, intelligent people and they are all working on getting better!
