Re: How do you all emotionally cope?       07/05/05 12:05 PM Edit Reply Quote Linz Reged: 09/01/03 Posts: 8242 Loc: England Gradually. Mark Pellegrino's written some great books for Fibro dealing with the different stages of coming to terms with a chronic illness...and that applies to all chronic illnesses, so if you've got a library near you, see if they've got any of his books. We have to go through all the stages and mourn for our old selves before we can move on and accept the illness. I went through awful anger when I was getting diagnosed. Part of accepting it is also accepting that we will have bad days...and that it's not wrong to feel down/angry when we do. Also, realise that it will take TIME to get control of this. It took me 6months to stabilise after I started really working at it...some people take even longer. But however long it takes, it's better than a lifetime of out-of-control IBS. So try not to get too frustrated. Re. your calendar -that's a really amount of good days! Also, I find hot weather affects my IBS more so maybe that's why summer is so far a bit worse for you.
