Re: How do you all emotionally cope?       07/05/05 08:21 PM Edit Reply Quote doubletrouble Reged: 11/14/04 Posts: 1530 Loc: Canberra, Australia Well I've had IBS my whole life. After 26 years you'd think I would have learned to accept it but I find that when I'm feeling at my worst I just can't. On the good days (and yes your glass is half full, I get about 3 a year if I'm lucky and have no idea what it is like to feel truly well)I am grateful for not feeling too ill. On the worst I quite often cave in and let myself have a cry if I need or I get angry. Mostly I cope with it by researching. I know almost everything there is to know about what is going wrong with my body and why. I guess I feel like if I know as much as possible then it helps me cope with what is happening physically. Does that make sence at all? Some days I seriously contemplate jumping off my roof, if I'm not here I can't be hurting like this all the time, but those occassions are rare and I know that I would never do that to my DH or my children or parents. If I could swing a dead chicken and howl at the moon I'd do it too and yes, I have days where I'm sure I would consider doing a deal with the devil just to be "normal". I hope you find your way of coping with it all soon. -------------------- Amy Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
