I have GI problems that no doctors can explain. They have diagnosed me with idiopathic constipation (a fancy way of saying you can't shit, and we can't explain it)
Every morning I wake up with terrible nausea. Sometimes it's so severe I throw up before I leave for school (like I just did in the shower today). The pain in my abdomen never leaves me. The pain is mild 24 hours a day, with severe "stabbing" pain when a stool passes over three specific spots. I've had this condition the last 6 months, and it continues to get worse every day. As a result of the pain I have had to change my eating habits drastically, and now I'm afraid to eat meat (the best fucking thing to eat). Because of my new diet, I have lost twenty lbs, but most of it is muscle. Because of my illness I can't work out, and if I did, I would be too weak to do anything else (highschool, being social, applying to college). To make it worse, I can no longer smoke MJ to reduce pain and convince me to eat, and I cannot stress the importance of convincing myself to eat, because today is my second day of fasting. In the last week I've only eaten on 2 days.
My response to dontstepongrass is: try not to pass judgement on someone and their situation, until you have put in the effort to understand him or her. I agree growing in your parents' house places your entire family in danger, and that is why I choose not to. Maybe his circumstances are unique, and I would hope he would enlighten us on his situation.
