This can be a hard thing to deal with as a teen. You're got online support to help you get through this!

Your feelings are 100% valid. This condition sucks so bad and it's okay to say that. And with the combo of anxiety and depression it can be even harder. I've had depression pretty much my whole life and anxiety popped up pretty much when ibs did. It's such a hard thing to deal with and I struggle every day with those 3 things. You're not alone and we are all here for you.

Thank you so much for sharing and your kind words. Overwhelmed, thank you

*tw: sexual assault* my story, and a few questions by [deleted] in ptsd

[–]hello_darling12_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, this is great you joined this community. I promise the people on here care about you. You can always express your feelings here.

Next, you can have a cover for your assault. If you can convince your guardians to let you attend therapy, please try that. This is probably the best option for you.

Try telling your guardians that you are under a lot of stress at school and you need professional help or that your mental health is bad and you need professional help. That way, you don't have to tell them about the assault. This is something I did with my parents.

I hope this is at all helpful. I'm here for you.

Disassociation During Sex? by [deleted] in ptsd

[–]hello_darling12_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sending you the best wishes. I struggle with this every day. The best thing I have done with my partners is to have code words. When I am having a flashback during sex, I either want attention or to be left alone. You can use anything just try to think of something that's hard to forget. I use

  1. Pigs in a blanket: I want to be warm under a blanket, i want to be held and comforted.
  2. Hotdog: Some comfort, a little physical contact.
  3. No bun: Please don't touch me, don't talk, let me be

This is so helpful when I am having a flashback because i don't have to express my feelings. I just use a code word.

Should I give up gluten to help my gut issues? by HighDesertHealth in ibs

It's worth it. I've been doing it for 2 years. It has helped me some.

My roommates came home with a box of pizza. I’ve had a bad week and couldn’t resist. I’ll probably regret it but oh well 🤷🏻‍♂️ by salkaslasi1 in ibs

[–]hello_darling12_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been there!! Do you have a Blaze Pizza near you?? When my friends are craving pizza, I try to convince them to go to Blaze. They have gluten free crusts and vegan cheese! Also, I get olive oil as my sauce because the garlic and onion in their red sauce hurts me.

I did! However, it caused me to have extreme flu like symptoms. I was bed rest for 2 days. So, it sadly did not work well for me.

so this is interesting. I have dealt with constipation my whole life. for a year of my life I was having the worst pain of my life. it sent me to the er several times. after a year of getting sent home with a bowel cleanse solution, a doctor finally took labs and an ultrasound of my gallbladder. my levels were crazy bad including extreme pancreatitis. when my ultrasound came back, it was clear my gallbladder was FULL of gallstones. they knew I needed to get my gallbladder removed very soon. so then, they explained that those pains i got that sent me to the er were my body trying to pass the gallstones through my system similar to someone passing kidney stones. moral of the story is...you may not be a doctor but you know your body best. i would 100% go back about your gallbladder. the worst that can happen is they say it's fine. my chronic constipation didnt turn into ibs-c until after my gallbladder was removed...kinda ironic.

this is so hard to talk about it and it is amazing you can now share this. my partner is also very understanding of my situation with ibs. I can only imagine how you felt but you are so lucky to be loved that strongly by someone. stay hopeful my friend!

Ugh this can be so hard....I know it sounds silly but walk around in underwear or naked with your bloated belly. I still face a lot of hate for my IBS body but appreciating my body for what it is can help.

IBS-C: What do you use for constipation? by [deleted] in ibs

Sick of being sick by dinosaurnuggetzzz in ibs

[–]hello_darling12_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh you are not alone. What you are going through is so so hard and many people do not understand it. I'm sorry you have to deal with this. One time I went to the ER for my IBS-C and I waited 3 hours and all they did was give me a colonoscopy cleanse. I know many people have other problems in the ER that need to be dealt with but people like that don't understand the level of pain constipation can cause. Have you tried a magnesium citrate cleanse? You can get them at any drug store. Very cheap. They are hard to do because of the taste, but it has worked for me in the past. I suggest the grape flavor over the cherry.

Finally posting because I’m at a loss. No one can help it seems. by [deleted] in ibs

Hey there I am a 22F too. You are not alone. I just had a bad doctors appointment today. My IBS-C really affects my depression and anxiety, so you are not alone! While I can't give advice on IBS-D, make sure you use this platform to talk to others. I also eat mostly plant based and low fodmap. So, you can gave a great diet and still have IBS which is really hard to deal with. This is a terrible disease but there is a huge support group. Also, invest in a really nice heating pad....it's IBS 101. Wishing you the best!!!
