Hey,

So i haven't been on in a while but things are still quite meh every now and then. My main problem is being too depressed to get up in the morning so i end up getting breakfast at 12:30 to 1:00 depending on the day lunch 4-5 and sometimes dinner not until at least 8-9. So yeah it's way out of whack and when i do this i barely get a good bm it's usually constipated sometimes normal but rarely.

However I wake up at 8 for friday for work 9-3 and sometimes get an urge at work about 11 ish maybe this is when I'm meant to go and I'm missing it by sleeping? idk i really need to sort my self out but it's a losing battle :(.

Still having panic attacks on the daily now worried about my latest one went this morning just a little bit and later on felt a little urge and had to strain a little to get it out it felt really tight so now I'm scared i could have a prolapsed rectum. Straining wise i sort of don't strain but i still worry i use a bathroom bin as it's better to go in general sort of squatting but every now and then i only strain a little for about 2 seconds to move it sometimes like the last bits could this eventually cause a hernia or prolapse or would you have to be straining hard for a long time?

What's your definition of "a while" Five days is not "a while" to me but eh....

When are you going to get help with your anxiety Lockey? It's affecting you to the point of effectively stopping you from living :(

Change in sleep pattern can affect bms. My husband has IBS and any little changes can affect his bms. Change in diet can do it as well, not drinking enough water, or even caffeine. Exercise helps, even if it's just 30 min walk per day. Are you taking any new medication? Some medications can cause constipation as well.
