Funny enough I applied to get a degree in counseling psychology! I love living in a world of honesty and emotions, and even though I'm going through a crazy time now, I want to eventually use all my experiences to help other people. I don't know if I will be ready to go to grad school in the fall, but without a higher degree I will never be able to have the kind of job I want. I did have 2 jobs recently (both part time) where I was making $20 an hour, which is amazing with just a BA, but I gave up both of them to deal with healing! I feel like such a fool sometimes for doing that... anyway... I wonder how much emotional sensitivity has to do with IBS? It's like we really FEEL a lot, and we are really sensitive to our emotions and to our bodies. I see the things other people in this world have to go through and I fear what will happen to me when I have to go through that in my life.. how much more weight can I lose? It's an awful feeling to think about these things. Is your BF supportive of you? Does he deal with your emotions well?
