Oops. Sorry. Thought IBS caused you to leave. Good luck with nursing. I loved the kids, but was time to move on.

I didn't quit because of my IBS it was just because I was really beginning to hate teaching, teachers and schools. The kids were great but that was the only thing that wasn't making me miserable. I try not to let IBS control my life which is why I've applied to train to be a nurse instead. Another demanding job but hopefully one that will fulfil me more than teaching did.

Well I have been training to be a teacher (although I have now quit) but it was very difficult both in uni and in school. Uni isn't too bad because it is big and you can usually find an empty bathroom but in school it is awkward because there ma only be one bathroom for the whole of the male staff! Plus, you can't leave half way through a lesson that you are teaching so that adds to the anxiety. At least in uni you can nip out if needs be!

Hey deke- I'm glad you found how to join :P I know what you mean- it is tempting to just curl up and stop trying, but we must do our best to keep going ^_^ And as for those people won't try to understand- that's why we have each other ne? Hope you're doing well :)

I think you all know how hard it can be having IBS; the paranoia, anxiety, depression, feeling like a part of you is not in harmony with the rest. It all can be very frustrating. Unfortunately, most won't understand what we are going through. But ya know, if they cant, to hell with them. Everyone in life has issues or problems. Ours is no different from any other problem. It is extremely difficult to go to school with IBS. If I could say anything regarding what to do and what not to do, I would say this: "live your life." Don't let IBS stop you from living, because life is short. When it flares up, address it, BUT please don't let it cause you to crawl up in a corner, never wanting to leave it.

Ugh- presentations. I have a few of those coming up and I'm SO not looking forward to them :( I'm always worried that I'll have to just randomly leave in the middle of my presentation...in front of everyone *tear* but oh well. Hopefully that won't happen, lol.

One thing that I do is always try to sit by the door if I can- that way I don't disrupt class if I need to leave for a bit. How about you guys?
