I'm taking a chance here, because I feel there's a remote chance
anybody is going to reply. My social life is dismal, I'm here on my
day off on a saturday night, and I have nothing to do. I haven't made
a new friend in 7 years, since my symptoms started surfacing. I'm
afraid of how I'll be received if I say ''Hey people, I have IBS, and
if I have to go to the bathroom 20 times a day, I need you to know
why!!".. Part of me wants to reach out to people and tell them the
sort of help I need, but I don't want people feeling sorry for me, or
to be a burden on others. I just feel like a disabled person tagging
along; I feel completely abnormal, and this has really affected my
self esteem, and how I relate to others. The few times I've gone out
I've had panic attacks, and my IBS symptoms worsen to the point where
I have to GO, and there's no place to do it, so I painstakingly hold
it in....I'm just depressed about it. anybody can relate or give some
sort of insightful advice, at least, to reshape my frame of mind, I'd
appreciate.
