in need of support

I was just diagnosed in January but I have had IBS for the last seven years. When my doctor diagnosed me sent me home with a prescription for colace and Zelnorm and told to use Metamucil three times a day. Other than that, she said there wasn't much else to do. Needless to say it was a gift from God when I stumbled across this site and found out about Heather's books. The Zelnorm worked with the pain but the constipation never seemed to ease up. I have gone a week without any bowel movements. I bought the hypnosis cds and am at day 14 now and I feel somewhat discouraged. Not only am I in pain but now it seems that my body may be addicted to the colace. I don't know how to go without it. I try for a week and then I get scared as extreme pains return. I feel that because I am so stressed and focused on this, my family suffers, especially my 5 yr old daughter, as all I want to do is lie in bed. Does anyone else "pretend" to be okay all the the time. I feel like I have to put on a show because people don't understand the pain.
