Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

It's so good you're reaching out to talk about it. You sound a lot like me (I always knew we were somewhat alike!!

). I'm a big worrywart personality. I can go over and over every scenerio in my head until I work myself into such a tissy! By then I'm no use to anyone. So I know how you feel.

I appreciate that you don't want to be a burden to your significant other. I feel like I'm constantly sensoring myself so people won't view my friendship as a chore to bear. I'm not sure how much of it is in my head-- which is why it's so nice to have the boards so I can talk with people who know what I'm dealing with because they're dealing with the same thing.

No money makes everything worse!! It's so true. Can your fiance pick up temp work while he's waiting for interviews? That's what I did just yesterday, after a whole year and 4 months at home. I start Monday and the money is not great, but it gets me out and thinking about moving forward.

I know if it's meant to be, you'll know he's the real one when you've been through the hard times first! That's also how it happened with me and my BF. I supported us both on a part time position for 3 years, with no help from him. It was worth it because we always remember in good times where we were in bad times.

Negative cash flow makes me tense! As much as it makes you, I suspect! Have you made a food budget yet? That was my biggest expense, and so we made a program by which we would eat in all week, then eat out on Saturday. Kept us sane and let us hold on to our dignity too (so easy to lose when there's no cash!).

Good luck, sweetie!!!!!!!!!!!! Post back when you can if you want to vent!! I'm sending tons of positive thoughts coming atcha!!!
