    I am scared! I don't know why, but today I look ghastly pale. So far, I feel all right, but I'm scared to death that I'm getting sick. I don't know what's going on. I don't have a fever or anything. Do you look really pale for a few hours before you get symptoms of the stomach flu? Oh God! Panicking here. [img]smileys/smilies_10.gif[/img]

    Could it just be that you slept crappy last night or something? My husband gets really pale if he doesn't sleep well. Maybe it's just you thinking you look pale... did you ask anyone else what they thought? I think if you feel fine then you probably are, you'd have other symptoms other than paleness if you were going to be sick.

    I actually slept like a rock last night, for a full nine hours. But I am a recovering alcoholic and recently went back to AA, and have been sober 4 days now. Maybe it's the effects of alcohol withdrawal or something. I'm hoping that's all it is. I'm sooooo scared. I'm shaking uncontrollably because I have wicked bowel cramps, but it's probably just an IBS flare-up day.

    It could be the IBS making you look pale too b/c having that doesn't make you feel good, you know? I get that too. Sometimes in the morning when I get up, I look pale too, but I feel fine. If you don't feel sick, you should be fine. You're probably having an off day. Try to relax and don't worry. Take Care. [img]smileys/smilies_46.gif[/img]

LOL

    Hdogg, I know the feeling. I'm sure it's nothing, you're proabably having an off day. If you are really self-concious, slap on a little blush or something like that. I have the palest skin ever, and I absolutely can't stand it....I'm always worried that people will think I look sick or thatI am getting sick.
    .I just want to feel safe in my own skin. I just want to be happy again. I just want to feel deep in my own world. But I’m so lonely I don’t even want to be with myself. <3
