I find that the thoughts come and go for me, but the difference now is that I don't let them consume me or become my "truth." I call bulls*t on them instead of believing them, I sometimes even laugh...

I haven't been on this website in literally years, but at one time I was a daily, hourly, and sometime minute user. I wanted to come back and share a few experiences that I think may help those that...

Trust me, you will get through it-on your wedding day you won't even think about it! I got married almost 4 years ago and I was worked up about stuff too, I think that it comes along with the anxiety...

I have struggled with IBS on and off for about 10 years. I have found that mine is definately worse in times of stress/anxiety and is worse when my emet is worse. I think that you will find there...

Sometimes there is no way to make sense out of these things. I am so sorry that this happened and sorry for your loss. Regardless of how well you knew him or not, it still hurts and it is still very...

OMG! I didn't know that...it is sad for that little baby.

My boss is an emet, hasn't v* in like 34 years...she is actually worse than me in some ways with it, she can't hear, see it, anything like that in any context. I am only bad if it is a sv* and...

I am so sorry, I will say a prayer or you both. They really are such special creatures, aren't they? My puppy means the world to me too.

The time that I had the sv* really bad, my mom slept in the same bed with me and never got sick, neither did anyone else in my family. I don't ever remember my parents getting sick, but my brother...

I am with Susie Q on this one. I really only enjoy drinking beer, specifically Rolling Rock (If you have IBS but like to drink beer, I strongly recommend this beer because it doesn't give you gas,...

There are other things that I am afraid of, but not phobic of (if that makes any sense). I hate spiders, I think that they are horrible and ugly, but I am only realyl scared of big ones and black...

This sounds stupid, but it is soooo inspiring to read posts like this...I am of course sorry that it is at the expense of you having to v*, but it is good to see that people CAN make it through and...

This was the third time that I had been summoned (correct word?) Twice while I was in college, but I got out of it...this time I thought that I had better just do it! It was frustrating because I get...

I just got done with a jury duty term here! I had to serve for four months and in that time had to go in at least 8 times! I got a check in the mail for $15.10 the other day! I am so thankful that my...

Just another vent...I am getting sooo tired of this sv* season...we have had it going around since before Thanksgiving and it still hasn't let up!! It was really bad around Christmas and seems like...

You are not a bad mother, you did a wonderful job and did the best that you could. I can relate to the guilt that you feel...I posted earlier in the week about how I had been avoiding my nefew...

Forget what he said, I think that you handled it really well. If you think that you handled it better than usual, then for crying out loud let yourself feel good about that! It sounds to me that you...

Its been a long time for me and it has never been a regular thing in my life, but I remember last time feeling terrible leading up to it and then feeling better afterwards until the next episode. I...

Oh, I am so sorry that you are having a rough time. Maybe it could be something she ate at nursery school rather than a sv*?? I dread the day that I have kids and have to put them in daycare. I don't...
