Almost every time I eat food or go to the bathroom, it triggers a burning sensation in my intestines and stomach. My family sympathizes with me, but they don't understand how utterly unbearable this is. There is no living a regular life like this. They don't understand that IBS isn't just something that I will get used to, or that I simply can't become accustomed to burning pain, stomach aches, and a myriad of other symptoms every day. It just isn't something I can settle into, and somehow learn to be happy despite dealing with it. They just can't wrap their heads around how horrible it is to live like this. I lived for nearly 8 years with moderate to severe depression and it was never anything like this pain I feel now. How can they expect me to just get up in the morning, eat, work, and live my life when it feels like my intestines are on fucking fire? They just don't understand. I will never get used to it. I will never accept it.
But I've tried to make it as clear as I can to them; I can't live with this. If I don't get relief, I will kill myself. But even when that happens, they will still act like it was some preventable tragedy. But IBS has no fucking cure. There is no solution. Not every problem has a solution. Sometimes something just happens, something bad for no reason, and then you experience terrible agony every day for the rest of your life.
I'm 24. I don't consent to 50 more years of torture. I can't do it. I'm sorry mom, I'm sorry dad. But I just can't live with this agonizing fucking burning inside me.
