Beaten Down By My Own Conscience

by Anonymous Typer

Every day I walk through school, feeling like I'll never be the same. This thing consumed my body and took over my life. I was bullied and there was nothing that was done to the bullies because of the connections of them to the school. I was out of school for two weeks and wanted to start fresh and new, transferring to a new school. I did not lose my friends physically and could still possibly see them, but I did lose them in mind because they did not support me and I was excluded from their 'clique'. I had spranged my ankle the week before arriving at my new school so I was on crutches on my first day of school. Suddenly, the symptoms of IBS started and people laughed at me and talked out loud so I could hear them. I had no idea what was wrong with me until recently. It's been 5 months and I've been suffering since. My doctor never told me it was IBS, but I am 100% sure it is because they told me to see a gastrologist. The thing is, it's tough to find a good time for an appointment considering I have school, sports, and homework. The doctor told me to try these powders for months before actually telling me to see a specialist. It's hard to stay strong and I hope others know that they're not alone.
