For me, coping at times like this is about putting it all in perspective. Yesterday I started feeling sorry for myself, and then reminded myself that hundreds of people had been killed or injured that very morning in the terrorist attacks in London. Is my IBS really that big of a deal compared to something like that?? No. It's things like that that bring me back to reality and force me to realize that things could be a heck of a lot worse.

Kree, that's the same thing I do. I think about how I could be so much worse. I don't have something fatal, I have use of all my limbs, my sight, etc. It usually helps me get over my self-pity party. Sometimes it's still not easy though....
