Good mornings, goals and gratitude's

Tue, Sep 29 | 6:00AM - 7:30AM UTC

Welcome to Good Mornings, Goals, and Gratitudes. Each morning, we meet with open hearts and tired eyes to greet the day gently, set a daily goal, and choose one small act of care for ourselves. Then, in return, we are grounded, lighter, and reminded that we are not alone. In the GGG, we start our day with positive quotes, journal prompts, self-care activities, daily intentions, and a goal we aim to achieve that day, followed by a moment of gratitude. Join us for a gentle, caring way to start your day.

IBS is common and still hard to talk about, especially when tests show no visible damage. ShareWell has free online support groups for people living with long-term illness, where your symptoms are taken at your word.

Topic context

Understanding ibs

Irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, causes stomach pain, bloating and changes in bowel habits that can last for years. Tests usually show no visible damage in the gut, so many people feel they are not believed, and many find that symptoms get worse at stressful times.

Why it helps

How peer support helps with ibs

Peer support can help with IBS because anxiety and low mood are common alongside it, and feeling alone with symptoms adds to the strain. A group is a place to talk about that pressure and hear how others handle daily life.

Inside the room

What ibs groups often cover

ShareWell groups are peer support and do not give medical advice, so please keep working with your care team on anything about diagnosis or treatment. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an online IBS support group?

ShareWell does not have one for IBS alone. You can join groups for people with long-term health conditions of all kinds, and the breathwork and mindfulness sessions on this page are open to you as well.

Can stress relief sessions help?

Many members find calming sessions useful for stress in general. They are not a treatment for IBS, so please follow your doctor’s advice about care.

Do I need a diagnosis to join?

No. You do not have to show a diagnosis to take part in a group. If you have bowel symptoms that have not been checked, please see a doctor.

Where can I find medical information about IBS?

The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (niddk.nih.gov) has a plain-language guide to irritable bowel syndrome.
