Hi, my name is
Ashley and for the passed 4 years I've had IBS, it's pretty much
taken over my life! I mean, from going on "normal" vacations all
the way to last year when I was basically forced to quit school
because of it! It's really been a HUGE struggle every morning
for the past 4 years! And for a long time NOBODY even believed
me that I was feeling this way. My mom didn't even believe me
and she has IBS! My boy friend thought I was basically "PLAYING
HOOKY" so I wouldn't have to go to school! He soon learned that
I WASN'T joking!
This year I am
getting to graduate if I get to all of my classes and pass, but
that's still hard to do. I've actually just got fired because I
had to take off work 3 or 4 times and I had only worked there
for a month! For a long time now I've thought that I was the
only teenager who was stuck with this horrible thing, but now I
know that's not true anymore and in a way it actually makes me
feel better!
