Ugh, this is just a rant I guess. I'm trying to finish college, but my IBS is making it SO hard. Every day feels like I'm going to die (sounds dramatic, but I'm not even kidding) and I don't know what I'm going to do. I feel so alone here, and I'm tired of struggling just to drag myself to classes. My doctor won't even give me a waiver for my flippin 9am PE class, so I'm going to get to lug my tired/nauseous self around the gym for the entire semester, hoping I don't vomit all over everyone. I hate this so much. I want to take a break to get better or something...but the thing is, I don't know if that will happen. Even if I did get this flare-up to calm down, it would most likely come back when I had to start my classes again. And plus, I don't really know if I'd have the energy to start again. That and I don't like being a quitter *sigh* But dang it- time passes so slowly when every day hurts so much. I read some people's blogs on here and everyone sounds so brave, it makes me feel really wussy about my problems- but...gah!!! Nothing helps.

Well, lol, now that I sound totally pathetic. Off to class :D

Kelly,
Thank you very much for the response even though the blog is an older one, I do appreciate it :) It's always nice to know you're not alone, especially when everyone around me doesn't seem to understand. I don't think my college has stuff like that but it sounds like something worth looking into. Having an excuse to leave and being able to extend work as a last resort sounds good...I wonder if they'd let me? I'm sorry that you haven't been feeling well either- I know what you mean about crying over it, I've done that before :( I wish there was a cure or something, that would be fantastic. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to get a lot of attention medically does it? Thanks again for the response, I hope things are alright with you :)

is there someone you could speak to at your college? I'm in Australia, and at my uni, there's a welfare liason, where you can go and discuss any issues that might affect your studies, ie. health problems. I have told them about my ibs issues, so there's a bit of leniency on attendance and I can leave the room should I need to, potential for extensions on work, etc. I don't always use the benefits that these have given me, but it's a comfort to know that I have a back-up if I need it, u know? I really think you should look into something like that, to give you some support.
And I'm really, really not brave! Sometimes I'll just sit in my bed crying over this stupid ibs! It sucks! It's frustrating! And it really makes you tired. But what can we do? :( There's no cure or anything like that. But it's good that we have somewhere we can all chat about it, with people who understand. :)
I hope you're ok. I know this is an old blog for you, but I just wanted to try to help a bit.

I'm not brave, sometimes it just happens.
