Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I am feeling totally overwhelmed. I was up until 1 a.m. crying. This is what I have on my plate right now:

1. Back pain (day and night)--can't get comfortable sleeping
2. pain in my right foot --it hurts like heck to walk!
3. IBS ---alternating between C and D
4. a toothache (I'll be getting a crown on Thursday!)
5. one son who needs $1,000 worth of security deposits on the house he's renting
6. another son getting ready to go off to college
7. 2 college tuition bills and books to buy (and a computer required for one)
8. We have decided to sell the house (and downsize because of my back problems) so I have to get the house ready to put on the market
9. We are looking with a realtor for a smaller place
10. My hair is still falling out at an alarming rate and I am bruising easily which is frightening me.

On top of all of this, my husband and I are having problems. I think the stress of all of this is affecting our relationship. All we do is argue!

Not to mention my problems with bipolar disorder.

I would like to ask you to pray that I make it through this difficult time. I was thinking yesterday how it would be easier for me if I just weren't here. I feel better today, but that thought scares me. I do not deal well with a lot of stress, and I feel like I'm barely hanging on.
