Zara.... isn't it sad that with a condition like this, or depression, or anxiety, etc. people don't understand...because there isn't any "proof" that they can "see" that we are sick. Whereas with a broken bone or something obvious, there is all kinds of sympathy, support, and understanding when someone is on crutches or in a cast. Maybe that's why I was so relaxed, calm, at ease and IBS-D free for the first 3 months after my hysterectomy....because everyone understood. I didn't have to explain anything or feel like I had to come up with an "excuse" as to why I couldn't do something. Everyone "knew" I couldn't because...duh...I just had surgery! Then three months later when I was supposed to be practically "healed" after surgery....my anxiety, IBS-D, etc. all returned. Does that make sense? It does to me.
