Loveloss

Before I was diagnosed, with a new boyfriend I so desperately wanted to impress. My body made so many unflattering noises that to this day I want to die in a hole whenever I think about it. They said nothing out of politeness but I could tell they'd heard. It happened at all the most quiet moments. Worst thing was, When I tried to go to the bathroom, nothing would pass. It has been five years of suffering and finally I am diagnosed with IBS officially, though that does nothing for me treatmentwise, I am comforted that I have a name for this debilitating condition.
