I feel so stupid

[franfhm]

I've just had to leave work, as for some reason my IBS started playing up as soon as I ate my lunch. I almost had a pa infront of everyone and virtually ran out of the office to come home, I was panicking in the toilet cubicles as I felt too closed in.

I've got home and apart from being a bit spaced out I don't feel too bad, just silly. Instead of riding it out in work I had to run home.

Now I've lost a whole days pay cos I couldn't sit there for an extra couple of hours til my day was done.

I feel so so stupid.

don't feel silly. I suffer from IBS & when I used to work, I used to beat myself up for having to come home when I only had a few hrs left but beating myself up about it made it worse. Don't try to stress, just focus on feeling better. big hugs. xxx

Hi Franfhm.

I was wondering if certain food groups triggered your IBS, as you mention it happened after lunch.

Best wishes,

Neville.

Not really, I think I just have a lot going on at the moment - it was all going to come to a head sooner or later
