ola_pie3012 I totally understand what u mean. I'm 18 too and although I've only been diagnosed for about 6 months I have always had a few IBS style problems. It really drags me down sometimes cos I feel totally controlled by it. I have D/C so it can be so unpredictable. I've found coming on this forum really useful as there are so many people going through the same thing- even though it doesn't feel like it sometimes!! I'm at uni now and feel under pressure a lot, from work but also from people sometimes, it's hard cos they don't know about my probs but I can't tell them. I don't like going out cos I'm scared I'll be ill.Sometimes I'm fine but the whole IBS thing can sometimes became an anxiety prob too I think...It's so annoying.!! While I was at home for the hols my stomach was more or less ok but now things are all downhill again...I start lectures officially tomorrow so its not good grrrrrrrsorry about that!!!!!! didn't mean to go on for so long.!ZiGGyxxxxxxxhehe
