irratable bowel syndrome.. how i found this out can be found in a pointless yet hilarious personal experience after the jump
so in a few months ill be moving and upon doing so i wanted to check out the area to see what type of services it offers its people. basically i was doing research for a support group. not anyone in particular but i didnt know where to start so i typed in the “[city name] support groups” to see where that would get me.
after various support groups for gambling, diseases, narcotics, alcoholics, i finally found one labeled ibs support group which was under the self-help category. i figured it would be something like “I’m Boosting Self-esteem” or something so i sent the leaders of this group an email telling them how im moving and would like to know more about them. and while i can commend them on promptly sending me the information back, i was startled to find out what this group was actually about.
it was a support group for irritable bowel syndrome, so most literally i got an email back about how to deal with frequent shitting and who i can talk to.
see if i sad ibs i guess it would bother me and i would feel as embarrased. but becuase i dont and i had no idea what ibs meant i gave my name and information to some people who are probably going to keep contacting me about my bowels. and for some reason i find it hilarious. so saldy to say i will not be attending the ibs support group, however if anyone would like the information i can give it you and you can contact me privately.
