Yep. I was in bad shape, confined to this condo, scared to death to leave. It was really bad -- because our other home was up in Canada, and that meant having to cross the border and be questioned by border guards, not to mention the long drive up there -- it was a nightmare! I scouted out all the bathrooms along the route -- and USED them!
Michael's Audio 100 program is incredible. He gave me my life back. So did Heather and this web site. And ultimately so did I.
I keep a medicine cabinet in my purse. My hubby makes fun of me, but when we're on the road and he has a headache and needs an aspirin or comes down with acid indigestion and needs a Pepcid AC, I got it! Then guess who has the last laugh!?
I keep a supply of Equalactin -- and my IBS meds -- in a little zip bag in my purse. When we drive down to Nowhereland to my hubby's favorite shooting range, and I'm stuck in the car, knitting, while waiting for him to return, sometimes I get to worrying, "OhmyGod, what if I have an attack?!" And guess what -- I'll worry myself into actually HAVING one! But then I pull out my Equalactin and Donnatal, and in a few minutes I'm fine.
I'm SOOO much better now, though, such that I actually play games with myself when I'm on the road. I actually try to see if I can mentally bring on an attack. I think about the attack, and when it comes on -- and it does -- then I think about stopping it. If my hubby says something to me, and gets my mind off it, I'll realize all of a sudden, "Hey, Self, your attack is gone!" It really IS all about that mind-gut connection!
And, really, lets face it -- if you have a sudden attack and there's no bathroom around, as gross as it may sound, there ARE logs in the woods that you can hang your a-- over. (EW.)
