I had given up the masking of my IBS-D problem with Immodium, back in September, and have been trying my darndest to stay positive, follow Heathers diet, taking Probiotics, going to meditation, exercising, seeing a therapist etc. etc. And then an attack happens. My coping skills are running thin now and I'm finding myself a little sad today. It seems I haven't been able to go more than 6 days without something triggering an attack.
Trust me, I am usually quite a good cheerleader for myself but my motivation is running low. Is there any hope for an IBS person to fully recover from this condition? I try to look at things from a healthier perspective, that I should count my blessings that I don't have a deadly disease, and to stop feeling sorry for myself, but sometimes it just makes me want to cry that this condition is taking so much work emotionally and physically to deal with. I would love to hear how some you cope with this chronic condition.
Thanks for letting me vent. By the way, I do know that all of you are a true blessing in my life...funny that we are all truly strangers.
