Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Back to Pike's Peak!

Nugget, in response to our other thread where we were discussing therapy (and the lack thereof), I think you're absolutely right that venting on these message boards to other people who actually "get" what we're feeling and trying to convey is so helpful! And Pud, I sympathize with your work problems. I got a royal stab in the back from my former boss a couple months ago and it really hurts.

Hence, I am going to vent and take part in Pike's Peak!

My rant:

I AM SICK AND TIRED OF WORRYING ABOUT EVERY LITTLE THING I PUT INTO MY MOUTH! I AM TIRED OF THE FACT THAT EVERY TIME I LEAVE MY HOUSE, MY BRAIN AUTOMATICALLY STARTS FREAKING ABOUT WHETHER I WILL HAVE AN ATTACK WHILE I'M OUT AND WHETHER I'LL BE ABLE TO FIND A BATHROOM. I AM TIRED OF HAVING TO REPEATEDLY EXPLAIN TO MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS THAT I DON'T FEEL GOOD AND NO IT'S NOT GOING AWAY, I'M STUCK WITH THIS FOR LIFE! I AM TIRED OF BEING ASKED "DON'T YOU THINK IF YOU STOPPED THINKING ABOUT WHAT YOU ATE ALL THE TIME YOUR STOMACH WOULD FEEL BETTER?" AND GETTING THE SUGGESTIONS "WHY DON'T YOU JUST FORGET ABOUT IT AND TRY TO RELAX." I AM BASICALLY FED UP WITH PEOPLE INSINUATING THAT I AM CAUSING MY PROBLEMS OR IMAGINING THEM. THE PAIN IS SO REAL SOMETIMES I VOMIT, SHAKE AND NEARLY PASS OUT! HOW CAN THEY NOT REALIZE THAT IS A REAL AILMENT? I AM SICK OF WORRYING ABOUT WHETHER I'LL FIND A JOB ANYTIME SOON. THE STRESS OF FINDING THE MONEY TO PAY MY STUDENT LOANS AND MY BILLS IS MAKING MY TUMMY HURT MORE AND MORE THESE DAYS AND IT SUCKS! I AM SO ANGRY AT MY FORMER BOSS FOR COMPLETELY SCREWING ME OVER AND PUTTING ME IN THIS POSITION TO BEGIN WITH! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT AFTER ALL THE HARD WORK AND LOYALTY I SHOWED HIM AND AFTER I SCRAMBLED REPEATED TIME TO COVER HIS BUTT WHEN HE DROPPED THE BALL IN OUR CASES THAT HE DIDN'T HAVE THE DECENCY TO GIVE ME ANY WARNING PRIOR TO LETTING ME GO AND WAS A COMPLETE COWARD AND DIDN'T WANT TO GIVE ME ANY GOOD REASONS WHY. I HATE HATE HATE BEING STABBED IN THE BACK BY PEOPLE WHOM I TRUSTED.

There. I feel a bit better. Thanks for creating Pike's Peak guys
