Danielle, You can not let this fear win. I still battle with it here and there but found that being pregnant for the first time last year and not being able to take meds for this helped me. Having kids puts it in perspective for you. I am about to start listening to Lucinda's cd's again bc i never f...

I agree. Its both the feelings in your stomach and the fear. Some days I am strong enough to just keep saying..you are fine, you will be fine and so what if you are not? However I always listen to my stomach. If I think there is more than a 50% chance that I will have an urgency to go then I will ta...

Mike- I totally hear you. I also agree that after a glass of wine or two its all different for me. However we should find other ways to cope. After a few years of never being able to take the train I really started to just tell myself that its ok. I know it sounds crazy but the more I liberated myse...

RD Terriers- You sound exactly like me! On the way back from Cabo they had us circling in the air for over an hour and I had no choice but to get up. The entire plane was flipping out that I got up but I was like- I am going to be sick and that is that. So ever since then I HAVE take a full xanax be...

Budguy- I can not diagnose you but can only share my situation. I have been to a ton of gastro docs and they all said there is NOTHING clinically wrong me me. I also went to a therapist and she wanted to talk about my daddy issues...I am like helllo are you listening..its my belly not my dad you loo...

Thanks so much for the words of encouragement. I will be sure to keep them all in my head as my mind starts to take over my body. It is certainly comforting to know i am not alone bc you start to feel crazy and helpless! I was thinking to download these all to my ipod so I can listen as I am on the ...

WOwwwwwwww- i can NOT believe how all of you are totally singing my tune! SNJ, Bella,Blondie, Kimberley, tresgatos, I mean all of you. Its just crazy. I am 28 and only started being like this around age 25ish so I do not have the same experiences from undergrad. I got to lesson 4 or 5 and was feelin...

This is how I live my life 100% of the time. I need to know where the bathroom is, or how long my car/train/bus ride will be if its necessary to take them. I was unable to take the train to work for over 2 years and was spenidng ridiculous amounts of money and time driving in, until I started this p...

Hey there, I do not necessarily get nausea, but more like rumbling in my stomach and the urgeny to go #2 (silly i know). It's very annoying and uncomfortable. Almost as if I have no control and bc I have lost control at least 3 times as a young woman, that fear refuses to leave me and I am consumed ...

THe doctors all told me that I do not have IBS, that its all just anxiety. They do not know what to call it. Great. I am always in fear of being somewhere with lots of people and no bathroom. Its awful bc I am still young and do tons of social things in the city or out. I travel alot so plane and tr...
