Someone to talk to

It’s so reassuring to have this site .In away it’s quite weird that we are all talking about our bowel problems quite openly.But it helps such a lot.

I’m not having a good day today so it’s great that I can sit and hear stories about exactly how I am feeling.Because sometimes I feel that no one can possibly be going through this nightmare.

I look at people on the street and everyone looks so normal to me ,where I feel anything but.And I think why me?

But this site lets me know that I am not alone.

Thank you.x

Good morning BlueDevon,I am so sorry you are having a bad day. I know only too well how overwhelming things can get when you are feeling poorly. I too have looked at others and thought ‘why me’. It can be so difficult at times, but please do no think you are alone, we are all here for you. Please feel free to send me a PM if you want to.

You are not alone.

Best wishes,

Shirley

I am sorry for the day you had, here’s hoping your feeling a little better.

People hide their personal issues and I am confident some of the very people you see on the street are actually in the same boat as us.

In life I do everything I can to mask mine, it is only on here I can open up. However, many suffer in silence that do not use this site, or any other.

That to me is a tragedy, the more people come out the more governments can do to help prevent it, education, health etc. IBS is such a broad area society, education, and healthcare all have a part to play.

I know exactly what you mean. I have constant severe abdominal pain, tried everything, nothing helps. Sometimes I think I'd be better off dead

Not what you're looking for?
