Support Groups
Close Loneliness
I have joined this support group because as a recently separated and now divorcing person, I am so lonely. My ex has managed to take over all the common friends we had pre-separation. Also, while we were married, he often told me I was not the type of person who people would want as friends. I do have friends, but they are work friends, quilting friends, coffee friends, just not the type of people that I call up when I am feeling lonely. It sucks!!!!
Close Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
I have had IBS for at least 15 years and I am wanting any suggestions to dealing with it beyond the fibre, various meds, diet, well okay those also. I usually have constipation, and then suddenly I have diarrhea in which at times I loose control of my bowels and that is sometimes in a public place or while on a walk or hike. It is so embarassing walking home with shitty pants!
Treatments
- Acidophilus Working / Worked
- Not really sure if it did anything. Tried it as it was the rage.
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- Basically I have kept a food diary and then when IBS is bad I look back at what I ate or drank and figure out a possible trigger. then when I don't need to worry if IBS strikes, I try things again. For example, I found out that beer especially dark ales brings on the IBS very well.
- Buscopan Working / Worked
- I use only when having spasms and it works wonderfully
- Chamomile Somewhat Helpful
- Not sure if it calms the gut or calms my nerves,
- Colace Working / Worked
- Will only use rarely when very constipated. Usually have to throw out expored containers of it
- High Fiber Diet Working / Worked
- For me it is food specific.
- Imodium Working / Worked
- only use if I am going out and am scared I might have diarrhea starting
- Lomotil Working / Worked
- I use something similar called Modulon and it works awesome
- Probiotics Somewhat Helpful
- Like the taste more than anything
- Psyllium Working / Worked
- Helps bind up the diarrhea, and I also use it if IBS is acting up regardless of diarrhea or constipation
- Reflexology Too Soon to Tell
- Just had it done and I think it is working
Open Life After Divorce
I am separated for 6 months and in the process of getting a divorce. We were married 28 years and together for 4 years before that. 32 years of dedication gone as my ex left as he 'did not have the energy to put into making the marriage stronger" a direct quote of his found in many e-mails he sent our friends. I feel a total reject and am a little bitter.
Treatments
- Couples Counseling Not Working
- He decided in the 2nd session that he did not have the time or energy to put into making things better.
- Massage Working / Worked
- just to be touched is so nice and affirming
- Walking Working / Worked
- allows me to walk off frustration.
Open Breakups & Divorce
separated 6.5 months ago and having a tough time dealing with some of the emotions and situations that go along with a separation and divorce.
Treatments
- Couples Counseling Not Working
- He decided at the 2nd appointment that hewanted out!
- Forgiveness Not Working
- he hurt me to much to be able to forgive
- Reading Not Working
- He took most of them with him. I doubt if he is reading them
- Support from Friends & Family Too Soon to Tell
- I am not used to discussing personal stuff with them sothis is a new thing for me to do
