YOWZA! Girlfriend, do you ever have a LOT going on in your life right now! Holy Cow!
Bevp is a love. Bless her heart. She's right about the Equalactin. You need to get out to WalMart Pharmacy and get yourself some. It's a Godsend!
The worst attack I ever had was totally stress-induced. I had two parties to go to on the same weekend, and they were all-day parties, with the boss and his family, office people and their relatives, etc., and I just didn't wanna go. I got myself SOOOO worked up over those damn parties, I had cramps and Big D all weekend, during the parties. It wasn't until just before the second party was over that I could feel my tummy totally start to relax. It was incredible; as I was standing there, talking to an office acquaintance, I felt the cramps roll down my body, through my legs and out my feet. It was amazing!
I think Equalactin would have helped me, had I known about it then, and I'm sure it'll help you now.
You need to deal with the stress. Exercise is always the key for me. Find something you enjoy -- maybe swimming? Aerobics? Running?
Bevp is also right about your bro. It's HIS problem, not yours. I'd just let the issue die down. Give him some space, leave him and his wife alone for awhile. Something tells me you were a punching bag when he really needed it, thanks to his hormone-crazed pregnant wife, despite the fact that you may have been totally innocent. Regardless, let him think about it and realize how unfair he was to you. Give him time.
Amanda, do you always take on so much at once like this? You might want to re-think your social life. It's very exciting, and you're very young, so it's great if you can do it -- but it's also very stressful, and tough on the tummy when you have IBS.
Flying to London? WOW! You'll have to stop and visit our Linzy.
I'm just like you when it comes to good books. I get all involved in the characters, and I miss them when the book is finished. When I was in the third grade, I read all the Trixie Belden mystery books, and after finishing the last one, I cried my eyes out, then wrote a letter to the author, begging her to write more. She never did. How rude!
