I'm not going to add any more advice except to say it's a viscious cycle, the IBS. How ever hard you find it to stop being frustrated, just stop! Let it go. If you're tense all the time, your body thinks it's in an emergency situation and, guess what, you bowels become secondary as far as it's concerned. I've gone weeks being sick when the things that worry me have kept running through my head, or when I didn't take rests and just kept going all day every day. During those times no amount of fiber and water and exercise do a thing to help. I'm glad you have the cds. they help if you completely let go and allow yourself to relax and think of nothing else when you're listening. The imagery is really funny sometimes. I feels silly but it works. I relax and then my problems don't seem as bad. I understand everything is a lot more complex than it sounds, but I believe you can do it. Are you in school? I'm 21 too! School drives me crazy sometimes, but this semester was fine with me. it was moving apartments after school was out that did me in! Nice to meet you. Keep posting - you'll get a lot of support here! I did. I've learned a lot.
And Jen, congratulations, I didn't know it'd been that long either.
