Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I've heard it mentioned a few times on the boards. Unfortunately I've been sick more than twice in 15 years, but truly not that many times compared to some. I do all I can to avoid it - though not in how I make a living (I teach in a school so I"m around sick kids all the time).
Tonight, I resolved myself to face it and after a serious wave of panic/crying shortness of breath, nausea I pulled myself off the toilet and went and read my daughter her bedtime stories and am trying to not keep getting stuck in my anxiety pattern. For about 30 min. i felt really strong and resolved and didn't take the xanax I felt I might need. now, its creeping back - the panic. I hope I can face this.
I've been thinking of trying bio-feedback for years, it helped my dad and he always pushed me to try it. Maybe I finally will for the anxiety/phobia. Thats great that you meditate. I had about a 6 month stretch when I tried insight medititation but I lost track of it. ITs hard to be disciplined - its a busy llfe!
