I've posted here previously about my relationship with a man who rejected me. I am 54, divorced 8 years, and about 10 days ago, I sent him another email, just chatty, upbeat, congratulating him on his new job as a college professor, and telling him about my grad. classes in Fine Art. But, the next day, while in class, I became physically ill, with a bout of irritable bowel syndrome. I stopped up the commode in the ceramics studio, and campus plumbers had to be called!!! So embarrassing! I explained it as a
"virus," and other students are experiencing similar symptoms, so I felt relieved in that respect, but I KNOW it was no physical virus, just an emotional one!

Why the hell can't I let this go??? Now, even my body is telling me how unhealthy it is. I will not contact him again after this experience, but I continue to think about him.
