Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: same crazy fear, but i am getting better

Wow! I'm surprised at all the response my post has gotten. Not because I thought I was the only one, but because I've posted just about the same message on about 20 other panicked occasions! Thank you everyone for sharing such honest repsonses. I believe my own fears stem from childhood hospitalization for severe ibs/ulcers. I did emdr as well and was able to remember a traumatic event that occurred in the hospistal much more clearly than I had remembered it before. Yet I didn't feel helped by it I never figured out how to not become my 11 year old self each time I get naueous. Still I did okay last night. I was able to break the pattern, though it took me longer than I'd like. Also I didn't throw up, so as I felt a little better that made it a lot easier to stop freaking out. Sometimes I beat myself up over it and wonder if I weren't living the relatively comfortable life here in the states, if I were in some place where I was faced with bigger problems, if I'd have time for this kind of worry. Yet this is where I am, and i have to deal with my own reality....
