Hi Roxstar, It is not nice to feel so bad about it. I supose it is difficult for others to understand it. But do you mean by the part I did quote, that you had to be in a hurry to leave? For me that never works. I just really need 1 hour at minimum between waking up and leaving.

Perhaps it is also the fear how about people will react on you if you can't make it and then it happens that you can't go. If people are relaxed with it, perhaps you won't be stressed out and you will make it. Sometimes it is also the mental part (the stress, a big ibs-trigger!!!) in it.

1st of all: Try not to blame yourself if they are feeling bad. You said they can go, then it is up to them what they decide.

2nd: Try to get your hands on the hypnosecd's. They can work for you at this kind of moments.

3rd: Realize you're not alone in this and perhaps you can give the people (who don't understand it, but you want them to understand it more) this website as information, so they can learn about it and help you to learn to handle this.

Good luck.
