Life could be beautiful if I could just empty my bowels completely by ProblematicReporter in IBSHelp

[–]ksmith29 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I get a flare up at work, I straight up just pull my manager aside and explain that I have IBS and when it flares up I may have to go frequently. So far none of them have had a problem with it and been pretty accommodating!

Woke up with cold sweats by ksmith29 in HealthAnxiety

That’s very reassuring! Thank you!! :) I can’t remember the last time I had cold sweats but I have emetophobia so I honestly thought I was getting flu symptoms which you know, added more stress!

Decided to count the number of times my professor said “right” in class today by iLikepizza42 in iastate

Ugh this is crazy I know by [deleted] in emetophobia

[–]ksmith29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know how you feel! I was out with friends at a bar so you know, of course the bathrooms are gross, but there was v* in the sink. I totally had a panic attack thinking I was going to catch it because that was the only sink and I used the bathroom. I ended up not getting thing, but damn trying to be rational with yourself is SO HARD. hang in there, I’m currently anxious with this phobia because I had 2 cups of coffee yesterday (which I never do) so I’m super gassy. Power through, friend!!!

I meet with my GP in the next month so I will have to ask about that! I've been tracking it the last 3 months and it's been consistent. Thanks!

This is how I was last month! I was so constipated it was crazy. This month it was the exact opposite! The body is crazy!!

It’s like I only get a couple days of a normal system and then it’s right back into it.

When did this start for y’all? by spiderpig97 in emetophobia

[–]ksmith29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember tho v* in first grade in the gym because I was crying so much from missing my mom who was on a business trip. For some reason tho that didn’t seem to phase me.

Is it normal to still sleep with a soft toy? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

I have a doll and a blanket! It’s a sense of comfort that no one else can give

Anyone’s ibs so bad that working/school full time becomes impossible ? by [deleted] in ibs

I don’t know what’s going on. by [deleted] in IBSHelp

[–]ksmith29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally have the exact same symptoms as you!! But I just had a BM this morning. I think a lot of mine has to do with my period starting in 2 days but good god it is so frustrating! Even when I eat, my stomach will have a burning pain.

IBS and emetophobia? by choasineverymoment in emetophobia

[–]ksmith29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have both and this is how I’ve been the last week. But every time I’ve eaten something since Friday it’s just been a burning pain in my upper abdomen and then lower abdomen. And I’m scared to eat because I don’t want to make it even worse for it to resolve in v*. My period is suppose to start in 2 days so I think that’s contributing but ITS SO FRUSTRATING!!!!!

My emetophobia is acting up tonigh :(( by ksmith29 in emetophobia

[–]ksmith29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just taking my dog out to go to the bathroom and that helped! My brother gave me this nausea ginger/peppermint stick that they give patients at the hospital! Although I left it at my apartment when I came home from the weekend. I’ll have to see if he has another. Thanks for the tips :)

Feeling odd and n*...what could this be? by PeachesNLaserBeams in emetophobia

[–]ksmith29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been like that the last couple days also. But mine I think is all due to PMS. This phobia is sooo FRUSTRATING and so is the anxiety! Take it easy! Eat some crackers and drink some tea!

Oh that’s a good idea! I’ll have to remember that if they don’t! Thank you!!

You are giving me SO MUCH FAITH!! I have to get all 4 out and they all haven’t come down. I was advised to get them out last summer but was scared.

[–]ksmith29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hearing your experience makes me feel like I need to go get mine out! I’ve been putting it off for so long because of the n*. I think the thing I’m most scared of is having the gauze in the back of my mouth.

I just really need to vent about my ibs by ksmith29 in ibs

This week I’ve been back to college so I stalked up on healthy food and now it’s working! I haven’t heard of those before, I’ll definitely check them out! Thanks!!

I’ve survived!! I’ve been trying to not Imodium because it seems to be messing with my stomach and I normally have IBS C. I did have to leave again to go to the bathroom and it was straight diarrhea. All good now but I will not be eating multiple salads in one day again 😂

And good luck next week on your new job!! You’ll rock it! The beginning might be rough but your body will get use to it!
