Hey there, Pretty Lady,
I agree with Jen about the anxiety thing. I also think there's more going on there than the IBS stuff. And her comment, "hiding how you feel and what you're doing during the day can't be helping those feelings of anxiety you're describing," is right on. You need to "let [hubby] in on a little of this anxiety you've been feeling" and let him remove some of the burden off your shoulders, Girlfriend.
I don't agree about the meds, however. I was on an antidepressant, and I didn't like it because it caused terrible cramps, so I got off it. It's not an easy thing to do, as you know, so no, I wouldn't go back on them.
You need the tapes, and they're on their way; you're gonna have to be just a little more patient. But I think you could work out some of this through some strenuous exercise. I did some very physical hard labor this morning for over 2 hours, and it totally exhausted me, such that I couldn't have cared less about anything except taking a nap. I barely got home and showered before I totally crashed on the recliner with the afternoon sun streaming through the window on my face. I woke up, just in time for Dr. Phil, feeling FABULOUS! And, Girlfriend, I gotta tell ya, nothing bothers me right now -- NOTHING!
Do you have a pilates tape? No? Okay, what about a quick jog around the ocean? Seriously -- get out there and go for a run. Work it off, baby! It'll do wonders for you. Remember how terrific you felt after your noon walks earlier in the week. Trust me. Work it out.
Hang in there -- Michael's on his way.
Bev
P.S.: About the impending meeting tomorrow? Do you have any Equalactin? Works every time.
