I look at my ibs as kinda a good thing. Granted I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy and I'm still hoping for a cure!
Because I don't eat red meat or pork, dairy or fat, my dr. says I'll live to be 101 just because of the diet I follow. Yeah, I still have bad days, but a lot less again lately. When my tum gets me down, I try and look past the attack to what is next. Luckily my attacks are short, but very violent and painful. I have a mantra I recite to get through the attack and then I move on. I can't let myself get too down or I'd have given up ages ago. And usually I know I'm too stressed, overtired or I've eaten something I shouldn't and that's why I had the attack. I look to the future and try to prevent my attacks - destressing with yoga, following the diet etc. It's a mind over matter thing for me.
