This could take a while... grab a drink and get comfy. 
Probably my #1 worry is money. I've literally been worried about money since I was 7. Yes, 7... I remember worrying about mom and dad being able to buy us food, because we were quite poor when I was growing up. (Mind you, we NEVER went without food, but this was my worry.) And I've simply never stopped.
We're in the process of buying a house and it's not going perfectly smoothly... that's stressful.
I can't work right now, and that's stressful. But it was even worse a few months ago, when I wasn't as sick and I COULD work, and couldn't find a job to save my life.
I worry constantly about being sick, which I know is counter-productive in terms of IBS, but I can't seem to help it.
Finally, it's good stress, but it's still somewhat stressful over all... moving to Maine. I love it here, and I adore living with my boyfriend, but everything happened at once and life changes like that ARE stressful, even when it's all good changes.
I won't even get into the stresses of the past 10 years of my life... abuse, divorce, and many, many moves.
Gee, is it any wonder my insides are messed up? And, of course, I'm not even remotely stable - I typically have one or two good days followed by one or two bad ones.
