IBS Self Help and Support Group Forums - IBSgroup.org: Hola, Bonjour, Ciao, Hullo, Hello - IBS Self Help and Support Group Forums - IBSgroup.org

I met an ACTUAL PERSON in college with ibs. I am soooooooo relieved, I was begining to think I was mullered (in the wrong context but i've been wanting to say that lol). I wanted to grab her and celebrate, I kinda stared at her for a bit- shocked- in disbelief- admiration for telling me, mostly feeling with gratitude. We talked about it all- her humourous outlook, simply had me grinning constantly. I kept thanking her- we shared the symtoms list, food lists, she suggested a Chineese herbalist who i'' be seeing. Though se also suggested CI- I am not sure I'm ready for a probing tube up my rear, in the presence of a stranger- but if you've had any experiences let me know- could sway me or ground me where I am. Exams are upon me- great- no-way! I have missed my fair share of college trying to learn things before the exam lame and revision is not working out. I decided not to get too stressed hwever, though as with exam your stress, anxiety and worry will always be there- I can re-do them in June, just have to start revision early. Pretty confident though that if I fail out, I will not be returning to college, look out online course. I am definetly not going to uni this year- so gap year is on. Plan CBT and counselling, a job- want to take my driving lessons and tests, Get a nice car- a holiday and some money for Uni- for spending ofcousre (nights out will cost y'kow and my special ibs food lol). Even if I fail, I am so excited about next year, the future seems fun, challenging- and I see some kind of victory.
