Hey everyone. A bit of a tmi warning here. So, about a week ago, I went to the bathroom and I noticed a lot of white bits with my stool. I'm at least decently confident it was mucus of some kind, which has never happened to me before. Since then, my more recent bowel movements have been better, but sometimes I'll notice a clear bit or two attached to the stool, and I can't stop wondering if this is mucus as well.

My current thought is that mucus would be a lot more... slimy, or something, right? So I keep thinking that maybe it's not, but even still, I can't stop checking and inspecting my BMs like a detective. The fact that I can't even tell what's mucus and what isn't leaves me unsure if I should even be worried. Ugh. Sorry, this reads more like an extra long venting post more than anything else. A few years ago, I'd have made several doctor's appointments by now, so I feel like I'm doing a little better with my health anxiety. Bathroom stuff is just complicated 🥴
