Any suggestions for getting rid of constipation FAST?

Literally dying here. It feels like I have to go, no cramping or pain, but it feels like stool is too large to actually pass. I have tried my usual trick (venti iced white mocha, whole milk, extra whipped cream, from Starbucks.) No luck. Took a stool soften/laxative combo and its been about 4 hours. Nothing.

I'm dying, the discomfort is absolutely driving me insane. I can't sit down without feeling it. I usually have the opposite problem and never once did I think I'd be writhing around thinking "I wish I would have almost shit myself at work today."

Absolutely any suggestions. Downright evil, malicious suggestions even. I want to be within an inch of my life at the end. The kind of cleanse you get from a colonoscopy. I'm not even in pain, it's just a nonstop, oppressive discomfort.

Update!!!!! 4 AM, I have officially shit my brains out. I feel like a brand new person. I feel cleansed, renewed, free of sin. I will be following advice here for any future issues. You're all amazing and I wish all of you healthy, regular, frequent bowel movements.

Edited again to add; a demon possessed me in my desperation and I decided to slam a cup of warm cranberry juice, with ginger. Then immediately chug a 50/50 (6 ounces each) hot peppermint tea and whole milk. I am lactose intolerant. I will be keeping up with a stool softener (not laxative) for a few days, and also will be drinking water like I've been out on the desert. Liquid I.V is also on the roster, cause I'm not looking to shrivel up and die. 10/10 would recommend, if you're dumb like I am.
