I was where you are. I was diagnosed approx 1 1/2 years ago and I still don't have it figured out.
Coping is very hard. I eventually had to seek help from Anti depressants because I couldn't do it on my own anymore- I was A MESS!!! I couldn't imagine having to live the rest of my life this way. (BTW I was diagnosed C but mostly have Pain) ALl I thought about was my stomach and bowels- It took over my every single thought.
I just got married in August 2003 - and all I could think is I should be enjoying this new chapter of my life and I hated LIFE!!! But things got better. It's still hard. Very frustrating and still depressing occassionally. The AD definately has helped me cope...
Everyone on this board has had to cope with the terrible symptoms of this condition. Everyone here helps everyone else cope.
Hang in there.
Melissa :-)
