Feeling like I'm crazy
Started when I was a kid. I would be in school crying because of stomach cramps. I would get all sweaty and clammy my teacher would send me to the nurse who would then accuse me of only trying to go home. So I'd go back to class sit at my desk and continue to cry.
Teachers and bosses once I got older and started a job would refuse to accommodate my need for an emergency bathroom break. My husband gets upset at how much time I spend in the bathroom. Avoiding so many different foods etc. It's miserable not knowing when and where I'll be when it hits me. Missing events and holiday functions only to have nobody seem to understand or care.
And being extremely embarrassed to talk about it.
