Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Anyone w/ Anxiety + Jitteriness?

Thank you all for your support. I also had PA's in my sleep - not fun... but that part is better, it's just the constant dread/cycle of this crazy illness. Can't make plans - the thought of trips or anything out of my normal schedule (which may be 10 hour days, which I handle fine) and I am stressed - what if I get sick and can't go? ... what will they think?... what if I can't be there for my daughter and granddaughters?... Stinkin' Thinkin' is what my former counselor called it! LOL....But, one stress management tool I had forgotten is called EFT - it's a tapping method - sounds strange - but's basically right brain/left brain - and the places you tap are the meridians in your body... I'll have to look it up again and let you know if it helps. It only takes seconds to do - quicker than meditation.... A guy was on PBS recently describing it for weight loss.....
We're gonna' win, Girls! I also feel your pain with little ones... my daughter has a 2 year old and a 6 year old - there are days when she's lucky to wash her face and brush her teeth! LOL I was a working mom, but think it's harder to be a stay-at-home mom!
