...See more Anyone out there struggling with any of these? I'm having a hard time managing my IBD with school particularly because of the social repurcussions of having embarassing symptoms like gas, bloating and diarreah that I can't really talk to people about. Like if you have a cold or something, you can just say "I have a cold" and people will be sympathetic and supportive, but if I ever went to a teacher and was like "I'm struggling with chronic diarreah" they'd think "ew". I also feel bad for feeling bad because other people have it so much worse. It's not like I'm bedridden. But it's like the pain and the fatigue and the scary potential complications and medications are not as life-changing to me as the embarassment and shame of these symptoms. Is this just me?
