Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Yes, I do. I have to start seeing a cognitive behavioral therapist because I need to break the cycle of negative thinking.

Anyway, I feel lightheaded and when the nausea comes in, I start to get clammy. I don't know if IBS is the culprit, or if it's my 12 year old friend Meniere's diseases which causes dizziness/lightheadedness which naturally results in nausea. Sometimes my head feels like I've just gotten off of a loopy rollercoaster. There are times when even though I don't have a fever, I feel like I do.

I'm tired of mentally fighting my mind. It really drains me! Sometimes I'm even afraid to pee at work because the memory of being in the stall while feeling sick creeps up into my head and voila! I start to feel sick. If only I can do that with lotto numbers for all of us so that we can be rich and not have to worry about going to work. Wouldn't it be great to not have to call in sick but instead call in rich?

Sometimes, on those rare occasions when I'm feeling "normal", and I'm using the word normal loosely, I start to think, "Um, like why are you feeling good? You shouldn't be feeling like this? This is no longer your norm." And from there, I revert and go back to the mental fight.
