> But now I've figured that much out, I'm stuck. What would my therapist tell me next?I think that's awesome that you were able to figure out as much as you did Dinah. I don't think I could have done that. I don't know what anyone would ask you next. Of course, it depends on the therapist! LOL You know mine wouldn't be as nice as yours, and yours might be more firm with you than another T.
As far as the IBS, sleeping, etc.... I agree, you have a lot going on, feeling shame is normal for us moms, but we sure shouldn't. And I hope you have gotten beyond that a bit, at least for this situation.
IBS - I used to really suffer from that a lot, esp. when I ate too much sugar. I went to a gynourologist, and he told me to take two Fibercon w/8 oz. water. Two of them, up to 3 times per day, as needed, and of course immodium as needed. But taking the Fibercon, over a matter of time got the IBS under control, to the point where I don't have to take it much anymore, and don't have attacks anymore. I'd say I have attacks maybe twice a year, where I used to have them almost every day. I also tried to cut back on sugar, or at least not eat any sugar until afternoon or evening. Most of my attacks were in the morning.
I hope you're feeling better and hope you figure out the next question, so you can get to the answer.
