Hi there- I’m 47 (wow 47! still can’t beleive that) and had IBS as long as I can remember. I just wanted to let you know that I can relate to alot of what you go thru while reading your blog. Some of the things you say are spot on. I wish we didn’t have to live like this. But we do and we deal. Good luck with your job search and your housing search.

things that stuck out the most to me.
” I wish I was super sophisticated.”
“I needed a friend like that growing up”
“I care way too much about what other people think of me.”
” I want to be liked by everyone.”
” I wish I had more friends.”
“I think I am self centered a lot of the time.”
“I used to check my email obsessively.”
“I hate getting in trouble.”
” I hate confrontation.”
“I want nice things but sometimes feel guilty for wanting them. ”
” I want things done my way.”
” Right now”
“I hope to raise my son to be a better person.”
” spend more time with my hubby.”
” I laugh in stressful situations.”
” in inappropriate situations.”
Honest and from the heart, no doubt.
Do you really want to change?
Do you want to have your God given needs
for Love, Significance and Security met?
Do you want to find out what your real purpose in life is?
I know someone who can help you,
But, you will have to surrender your plans and ideals,
then, open your heart and have a little faith in God “I AM”
You would need to get a bible to study with,
and make it a priority in your Life to put God first.
I care about you and your life and where it’s going
I hope to be helpful to you.
Let me know when you are ready,
and we can get started….
one step at a time….
Love in Christ,
Jaime

wow, when you pull out only a few like that I sound pretty darn depressing. I’m really not!
