Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | A bad night ruins my happy mood and I can't stop crying

Hi all,
I was so excited to be going out tonight - My boyfriend and friends have been goign out so often lately and I always either don't go, or go home early 'cause I want to be well for work the next day, am trying to get enough sleep, blah, blah, blah... but tonight is Friday and I was so excited to be going out to the pub, and then out to go dancing in a club.
I was fine all day. No D Attack in a month as of yesterday. So I get all dolled up, and out we go.. I feel a bit funny before we leave, but just ignore it and decide it's nerves.. So as we start walking and get these stabbing pains in my stomach. Like it takes my breath away. Again, try to ignore and carry on... So we get to the the pub, sit down for a bit and now I am having to slouch over in my chair as my stomach is hurting so badly. Try and breath, try and be calm.. but my eyes are watering as the pain is so bad and it's making me feel dizzy and like I'm gonna be sick. So I decide that's it, I am going to go home and chill out and if I am feeling better when they are gonna go from one place to the next, I will re-join. So boyfriend walks me home, and it just keeps getting worse. Pains so bad, all through my stomach. And I really think I might be sick. Takes ages to get home, I'm crying now. Get upstairs to my room, lie down and just LOSE IT. I mean really lose it. The pain is so bad I can't stand it, but more than that I was _so excited_ about going out. I was so thrilled at the idea of getting some semblance of a normal life back, and it just got snatched right away.. or so it felt, anyway. I just couldn't stop sobbing and sobbing and shaking and my boyfriend kept sort of arguing with me, telling me I shouldn't be upset, that it doesn't matter but I _am_ upset and it _does_ matter to me because I have been so looking forward to it.
I still feel so upset, and the pain is so bad that just sitting here to type this is agony.
I am so upset.
