Nooooooo!! 😭😭

I HATE have IBS!! I wish I knew someone that understood! I woke up at 5:00 a.m after only going to bed at 3:00 a.m thinking I was about to shit my pants (that what it feels like), except when I get in to the restroom I am extremely constipated! I sit her trapped in bathroom with pain so great I normally throw up. I sit here and deal with that pain until I poop which eventually turns into diarrhea after I pass the first few hard poops. Even after I am able to poop the pain cramps do not go away until I am completely finished which can easily take an hour or more. After I hopefully finish I have to get in a warm bath to help relax both me and my stomach and muscles. I have always been looked down on and made fun of for how long I take in the restroom. I literally had some crazy lady stand up on another toilet and look over the stall at me and ask if I needed her to call an ambulance (I was really pissed because 1. Don't get on a toilet to look at me on one, let me have my privacy. And 2. If I needed help I'd ask for it.). My family especially doesn't get it and I wish it was a more talked about condition and more accepted and recognized. Even with my doctors note my boss doesn't care and I often get in trouble at work when I have a flare up, but there is nothing I can do to stop it. I have medication that helps the pain a little, but the doc said there isn't much else to help after that.

Sorry for my little rant. I just wish I personally knew someone that understood that wouldn't give me grief about it and actually take me and my pain seriously instead of thinking that I make it up as an excuse.
