I just laid it out there for them. I understand your anxiety and feeling of hopelessness.
I had to be hospitalized for the impaction in my colon, and then, pretty much everyone new. My fiance, his parents, my parents, and my friends came to visit me in the hospital while they were running tests, so they got the full -on deal.
I guess in the South no one really pays that much attention, or they don't let that kind of stuff bother them. We are all supposed to be so proper Southern Belles and all, but the truth is, we are just like everybody else, and YES WE ARE REDNECKS!!! I am a redneck and I'm not ashamed of it, or I wouldn't be who I am.
The best thing to do is just tell them. If they love you, they will understand and try to help and comfort you in any way possible. Now, I am not ashamed to talk about it to anyone. It is a disorder that I have to live with just like someone has to live with thyroid diseases or some other kind of disorder. When people ask me questions, I am glad to answer. I feel like I know something about something that they don't, kinda makes me feel important in a weird kinda way.
Hope this helps!! Hang in there! Go on vacation, just make sure to mark the rest areas on the route you are taking, and take safe foods to eat while on the road.
