99? I was 16 and a junior in highschool. Hating the school and my parents because I couldn't get my driver's lisence because of a vacation we took in the summer that prevented me from taking driver's ed. I was failing chemistry, went to Spain for 2 weeks, and taking my crush to the prom! Looking back it's crazy all the stuff I did in highschool that year. I was in band, had meetings for my spain trip, in track... it was crazy! good thing I didn't get IBS until 4 years later.

I was getting ready to graduate from High School and leave my crappy yet wonderful suburban childhood home for Bucknell University. I was still in a pretty bad relationship with a guy I'd keep dating for another year and a half, but life was basically good. I didn't have IBS yet, but my eating habits were pretty bizairre on their own. Still not sure if what I had counts as a full blown eating disorder, or if I was just a whacky and insecure teen. Either way, I was pretty darn skinny! All that garbage was kind of on-and-off from age 13 to 21. I've done some browsing on past threads and there seems to be a few of us who dabbled in the anorexic arts. I definitely believe there might be a link there -- something about getting our bodies used to extremely low-cal, low-fat diets, and then trying to resume normal eating. That's about when I got IBS -- right when I started relaxing about what I ate and stopped worrying that everything would make me fat. If nothing else, it probably made us fantastic IBS diet followers. Who better than a bunch of chicks who already know the exact fat and calorie content of every food in the world, and who are used to adhering to all kinds of strict eating rules? Haha, I knew my insanity would come in handy someday!
Seems I've painted a pretty grim picture ... but 5 years later, I live in a tiny yet adorable apartment in the best part of NYC, have many close friends nearby, am finishing my first year at law school, and am in love with the most wonderful man in the world. I guess things work out!

Wow. You've been through a lot. But you're still such a nice person! Way to go for pulling through those rough times! And yes..good luck in the future too (BTW..kids at school CAN tend to be bratty, especially to new kids But they'll see who's successful in the end!)

Yes, I was REALLY "jack of all trades" but only got the title and pay of customer service. I did all customer service, purchase & recieving.... worked 10-12 hour days will NO LUNCH..... it was CRAZY... I was the go to girl. I loved my job for the 1st couple of years but then we merged with another company, got a new owner,.... he did not know how to run a business... so he got into trouble money wise and then started letting everyone go.... he kept me, I took at many positions and got ZERO pay increase!! (*note: he is out of business now and lost his home over it) IDIOT!! I started the job I'm at now in July 1st 1999!




OMG practically the same thing happened to her! Things weren't so bad for her at first (it's an insurance company) and she didn't mind work, but the business all went to a new guy who had no clue how to run the company and switched the computer programs they were using, he let go a total of 350 people in just our city alone (so far!) and everyone is in fear for their jobs! And now my mom and the other 12 people who are left in the call center have to cover a bunch of other jobs on top of all those calls. So when the phone rings now at home, I'M the one that gets to answer it!
