Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | OK, back from the woodwork...time for an intervention....

I've been naughty for a while and I think it's catching up to me. I had nary a symptom for 2 months, but I'm definitely hiding all my stress in my tummy. i miss you ladies, and need to talk.

I've had a really hard time with my sister, and my sister in law, both having baby girls in the last few months, and trying to adjust to my daughter not being the only grandchild. i've got MAJOR abandonment issues with my mom and am finally willing to go see a psychologist.
I will make an appointment this week.

Life is so crazy right now with this amazing teaching contract, but when God delivers, he DELIVERS the new York Times...it's been tying me down at least 6.5 days a week, and kayleigh has een dragged into it too. I hate that.

Otherwise, life is lovely. My marriage and sex life is great(yahoo!), loving the heck out of my daughter who is at such a fun age....i've been able to buy half of my Christmas presents already, have gotten myself a decent wardrobe, haven't had to worry about my diet at all(yes, eating CHEESE every day!) but I can feel that anxious little thing in my gut telling me I'm walking on thin ice. My relationship with my sister is great now, but it's the pits with my mom ad she's been avoiding me because she refuses to actually work things out with me. i don't know how to have a superficial phony relationship either, so that's been a stress.

And oh, any ideas about the fact that i've missed half of my periods this year? i think I'm pregnant every freaking other month....(and kinda hoping, hee hee) and I've had breakthrough bleeding EVERY MONTH for the last year. It's really getting annoying and I've had PMS to contend with for the first time in my life. i'm so confused, and my doctor says he's not changing my pills till my life settles down. So that's another reason I think i need to talk to a psychologist.

I'm not depressed at all, really life is quite happy if I never had to deal with or hear from my mother again, but I don't want my daughter being scared of my mother like I am of my mom's. trying so hard to right the wrongs of the generation before....

Any insight or words of encouragement or advice is really appreciated. i have really miseed you all but couldn't log in.
