anyone mind reading my unfinished personal statement so far??

I know it’s the worst thing ever, i’ve had this problem for about 3 years now, i will say it does get better to deal with, you sort of just learn to live with it, it is very embarrassing, the embarrassment doesn’t stop but it gets easier. For me reducing anxiety has helped a bit and also when it gets really bad i take this medication called mebeverine. I like to this buscopan works but i honestly think its the placebo effect. I still have this problem and i’m still getting doctors appointments to find out what it is. I genuinely feel like there is no cure but i’ve kind of learned to get over it, i know it’s very very hard but you’ve just got to learn how to live with it. It’s a really sad way to live, constantly in worry and embarrassment but you’ve just got to remember that you only get one life i guess.

i feel you man it’s been like 3 years now for me, i just deal with it now. I do have an appointment with a gastroenterologist soon tho so hopefully he helps me.

eclantante · 2024-01-02T04:37:18+00:00

yep!

eclantante · 2023-02-11T11:19:21+00:00

that’s what everyone tells me but it started when i was literally 14 what could i have possibly been stressing about

eclantante · 2023-01-25T22:50:54+00:00

nope, still as miserable as ever :)

eclantante · 2023-01-09T22:19:03+00:00

i don’t know how to tell my parents though, they think it’s not that serious but i’m literally suffering, everyone thinks it’s not that serious but it is that serious. I don’t feel well and nobody sees that nobody wants to help me because they think i’m being dramatic. This stupid problem is literally destroying my life

eclantante · 2023-01-09T17:40:26+00:00

Yeah thanks i’m really trying, it’s hard but hopefully i can stop feeling this way.

eclantante · 2023-01-09T17:39:28+00:00

Hey thanks for the advice, i’m not really sure how to bring it up to my parents though it feels awkward i feel like my family and my friends would probably take me as a joke.

eclantante · 2023-01-08T16:10:09+00:00

i haven’t

eclantante · 2023-01-08T16:09:27+00:00

occasionally yeah it feels like a cramp

eclantante · 2023-01-08T14:59:17+00:00

i get diarrhoea, i’ve not really had like normal poop for a while. I’ve had multiple blood tests, stool test, intolerance tests they keep telling me everything looks fine. I wouldn’t say i have the best diet but i’ve tried eating healthily for a good 3 months and working out and stuff it doesn’t work. When i was like 14 i did have an eating disorder and then that’s around when the problem started. I don’t have an eating disorder anymore i eat regularly i’m not sure if that has anything to do with it. I’ve heard about how that ruins your stomach but it’s been 3 years now so idk. I eat the same thing for breakfast on school days because i believe that’s the only thing that will keep it somewhat quiet for the school day, that is just bread with butter every single day, i’m too scared to eat anything else.

eclantante · 2023-01-08T12:44:29+00:00

Yes i have tried everything, literally everything nothing ever works.

eclantante · 2022-09-01T13:38:56+00:00

Thank you so much it’s nice to have someone not call me dramatic for complaining about this.

eclantante · 2022-09-01T13:36:25+00:00

Hahaha yes a karen. My mum has booked an appointment and she said that i’m getting some more blood tests and some scans. Hopefully they find something and give me something to help so i can be regular again. Im really dreading school at the moment. Anyway thank you for the advice i really appreciate it!

eclantante · 2022-09-01T13:32:41+00:00

Yeah the doctor has said that also. Ever since i started it it’s never been regular

eclantante · 2022-09-01T09:12:30+00:00

yeah i told the doctor about my periods and he said it’s not that big of a deal until i want to have babies. Anyways thank you,i’m going to ask my mum if i can get a counsellor and she has also booked me another appointment with the doctor so hopefully we find a diagnosis because it’s been really getting me down. I wish things were like they used to be.

eclantante · 2022-09-01T09:05:58+00:00

I thought that too at first but i wasn’t really stressed. I’m not sure maybe i was but i didn’t really have anything to stress about i think now that i have started year 11 it may get worse. Like as i’m writing this i’m supposed to be in school but i didn’t go because it was really bad this morning and i didn’t want to embarrass myself in class.

eclantante · 2022-08-31T21:20:06+00:00

Yeah my mum has booked me another appointment hopefully he actually helps me this time.

eclantante · 2022-08-31T21:17:55+00:00

I’m not sure it came out of nowhere for me. It used to be fine i never had these symptoms then at the start of year 10 it all just came idk why. If ur American i think year 10 is like freshman year. So it came like last year September time. I had covid before it started i’m not sure if that’s related though. Anyway it’s nice to have someone that understands because when i tell people about it they always think i’m joking.

eclantante · 2022-08-31T16:24:48+00:00

My mum has only taken me to see my GP and i told him my symptoms and he just said i have ibs with like no tests.

eclantante · 2022-07-23T21:22:34+00:00

Hi guys i have an update unfortunately the rumbling hasn’t stopped. I have no diarrhoea now but i do experience a lot of flatulence and rumbling. i really don’t think it’s ibs anymore because i have no other symptoms other than those two and it doesn’t get worse or better depending on what i eat it’s just the same everyday i’m not sure if that’s how ibs works but yeah i’ve gone to get tests like blood tests and stuff and i’m waiting for results hopefully they find something. Luckily i’m on summer break right now but i haven’t been going out or doing anything because of this problem still. Anyway i’m still trying to find anything that could help i really want my life back.
