Hi Stevie boy, nice to meet you. Im glad you are so positive even when you obviously find things difficult, wish i could take a leaf out of your book, sometimes find it easier to give in and stay home than go through the upset of going if that makes sense.That doesnt mean I dont try, I do.
I find when I write things down it often helps too.
Hope your day has gone OK>

Hi Stevie boy,

I know how you feel I to suffer badly with I.BS I suss out where all the toilets are where ever I go! I could write a book on the good toilet guide by now! LOL I also get extremely bloated and uncomfortable. The IBS becomes so much worse when your anxious as well huh! Some of the things I use are pepermint capsules or I I rub some fennel aromatherpy oil on my stomach. Or something like loperimide can help stop the urgency.

I hope the meal goes well for you try to relax and distract yourself as much as possible!

Keep up tho positive attitude!

Take care

Hiya Steve

Good to see you back here again. I was wondering how you were doing nowadays.

I am still researching sleep so maybe there will be something in that which helps you sleep better then you can get off the sleeping pills.

I am going to moved this post as well - hope you don't mind.

Hi Steve

Sorry to hear things are bad at the moment. i understand how you feel. Would be so easy to stay in bed and forget the real world exists. I used to be like you with sleep but doing relaxation and having reiki gradually weaned me off them. I went from sleeping pills to tranqs then gradually reduced the dose. I am glad you are not giving in to the feelings of running away and hope that you enjoy your lunch. Ibs can be quite debilitating so try to relax and like Pips said just know where the nearest loos are.

take care and enjoy
