As depressing as all of this is.... it is so nice to know there are other people who understand EXACTLY. I am so sick of trying to explain to people why a social life is next to impossible most of the time! Well meaning friends and family look at you and say or think "well you don't have to go to the bathroom every 5minutes and you look fine- what's the problem?" (I'm a C as well). There is just no way to explain to them the agony of what goes on inside our bodies 24/7. I do and have done everything youdo.... the bags of food, the isolation and fear of social situations, the constant change in diet that doesn't seem to work. I totally understand that it does control your life. And there is nothing worse than the people who think this is in our heads. Good for you for going to med school... are you gonna be a gastro?? Just keep hanging in there. I was in grad school at your age, and that's when things started getting REALLY bad for me. And 8 years later I have just found this website. You are ahead of the game! Do you already have a b/f, or do you find that this also impedes your ability to date? Feel better
