EDIT: AS OF 9:35 PM 6/9 TINY HAS BEEN FOUND!!!
We hung several dozen flyers, searched for him everywhere, but ultimately a lovely neighbor just a few houses down found him staring into his back door!
Orange tabby cat named Tiny. He has been missing since 10:55 AM on 6/8. Was lost on E Lee St and seemed to run into Preston Park. Responds to tongue clicking especially well.
WIP!
QUESTIONS:
do you have the urge to go, but you cannot? Or do you have zero urge to go? (this is the most important question) - Yes I do but i cannot go. At the hospital they gave me an enema but I could not hold it in for more than 2-3 minutes. I had a lot of diarrhea and pain plus an iv and pain medication but there is still a hard plug of stool. The nurse also was sure I have pre-diabetes since my parents and other family had it or worse.
• Do you have alternating diarrhea and constipation, or just constipation? - Mostly alternating diarrhea
• Do you have nausea, vomiting, acid reflux, difficulty swallowing, or early satiety (getting full really early into a meal)? - Very bad acid reflux issues most likely do to stress, I have been struggling with some boyfriend issues as well during this but that has improved tremendously
• Have you had this issue since childhood, or did it begin in teen years/adulthood/after a major life event (surgery? divorce? car accident? mauled by bears?) - It began after trauma from a friend and underlying trauma and mental health stuff. Since late childhood up until now and preteens.
• Did you in the past or do you currently take any medications that could damage your intestines? The acne drug Accutane/Sotret/Claravis/many other names (isotretinoin) has been linked to serious conditions of the digestive tract. I am absolutely convinced that my large intestine was destroyed by this drug. Antibiotics are also a major culprit in ruining the small intestine microbiome and causing diarrhea/constipation disorders. Antidepressants can ruin the serotonin balance in the gut as well. - I did over the years for ear infections etc. and Im not sure but I will list my medications here.
Most of the fiber stuff i have just started.
fiber capsules: 3 in 1 Metamucil and regular Kroger brand (5 a day)
one cap of miralax daily
guanfacine: 2 mg 1 tablet by mouth nightly (for adhd and irritability i think)
Folic acid to mange a gene deficiency? or a missing gene: 400 mcg once a day
3 fish oil a day but i have not been doing that
occasionally ibuprofen or antibiotics for ear infections, utis etc. but that has not been for awhile, and i took 2 Tylenol (my moms more strength one yesterday night)
Escitalopram: 20mg 1 tablet my mouth a day (taken for anxiety and depression)
Magnesium: 500mg whole body support once at night (for sleep i think)
melatonin: 3mg per serving (for sleep)
vitamin D but keep forgetting
once daily womens vitamin (multivitamin and multi mineral supplement and kroger brand)
Loratadine: 10 mg 1 tablet by mouth in the morning (for seasonal allergies and dust.)
hydroxyzine as needed: 25mg 2 times a day 1 tablet twice a day (for anxiety but also for camp im going to soon) I suspect this is part of what caused my constipation friday. I was taking for 4 to 5 days and i went off it when i got back from a sleepover but then had side effects from withdrawal maybe and mania from my bipolar.
Sometimes saline spray.
also not sure if this is worth mentioning but i have dyed hair/bleached hair and a septum piercing, angel fangs piercings, and snake bites piercings
• Did you suffer sexual abuse as a child? There is a high degree of correlation between childhood sexual abuse and adult constipation disorders.
meaning, people with chronic constipation disorders in adulthood experienced trauma when they were young. This sort of thing must be investigated by both your doctor and investigated by both your doctor and a therapist in coordination. Do some Googling on this topic if you believe this might be your issue. - I definitely did, sometimes I feel i am suppressing more but i’m not sure.
The first time I was 8 or 9 in 2017 or 2018 and my best-friends dad at the time did it (i have told people plus police but I am not telling names for my safety.
The second was two men outside of my house but was not physical when I was 11 or 12.
The 3rd was a partner i had for a day because of serious anxiety with relationships, he had stalked me a bit after we broke up and was sexual when i explained things not sure if that counts.
The 4th was someone online who took advantage of my mental state at the time but was very sexual.
Let me know if there is a problem or I missed anything! So I am a 17 year old female (technically trans masculine and gay if that’s important at all) but I have been dealing with constipation for over 7 or 8 years. Im not sure how to word this or cram all the details inside but I’ll try to add the most important info. Back in 4th or 5th grade in about 2017 or 2018 which would make me either 8 or 9, due to being temporarily constipated. My parents did the usual thing and bought gummy glycerin fleet laxatives. And as the addiction persisted i switched to glycerin fleet laxatives. Im not sure and cant remember if we went to the doctor right away or at all but I’m pretty sure we did. But even so, over time i would keep using them over and over again. Also keep in mind my dad and kind of mom are health freaks even though they are also heavily overweight and my sister is too
As for diet, it has never been very good for as long as I was born. Not necessarily my parent’s fault (some may disagree) but money was tight and i’m not sure about back then but healthy food is ridiculously expensive right now. (Money has always been an issue for our family and for context there are four people living here, my sister, dad, mom, but also 3 cats. And my parents are hoarders and have the mental issues i will mention (but my mom has the bipolar 1 or 2) but the house is definitely not as bad now due to a cps visit but the kitchen is something we have struggled with for decades (mostly my mom and dad)
So years and years of bad diet but also an addiction has made my journey extremely difficult, and on top of that I have never been good at drinking water in healthy amounts. Some of this info is very personal but I feel it is necessary to explain my situation fully. As of now my diet has gotten even worse and it’s become a serious heath concern for many reasons.
Some are not related to diet or constipation but me being overweight or obese A.K.A 195lbs, black and posture issues, plantar fasciitis, flat feet, a slurry of mental health issues and disorders inherited from parents or other family (ADHD, bipolar not otherwise specified, depression, anxiety, learning issues, and suspected autism) a heart murmur that hasn’t affected me since, other GI or digestive issues, Suspected PCOS or PMOS, chronic fatigue, SA, psychiatric prescriptions, eczema, ingrown toenails, lack of exercise, being overweight and obese as of now, COVID, some recent UTI’s, ear infections, poor eye site, recent RSV, depoprovera, iud and gyno/neurologist visits and some more things i cannot recall. online ascess porn
I also have a history of strained relationships and problems, i listed some in the SA section but ill do the rest here incase relevant. In kindergarten to 5th grade when i was 10, I was in a relationship with my best-friend at the time. I know, wayyyy too early but he went from straight to bi to gay over those years. At the time i did identify as a female but I transitioned at age 11. He was quite abusive (I know he was a kid as well and the same age as me and I was one month older) But throughout the relationship he would belittle me and treat me stupid which I have experienced in friendships as well.
I can promise you I am not lying at all regardless of looking like a whole lot of self diagnosing. I would not be taking the time to post if I was, my attention span sucks and typing is not my favorite thing in the world. But back to where i left off, after i developed an addiction which i heavily suspect was/is caused by my need to be in control due to various traumas but I am not completely sure.
So obviously the addiction when on for quite awhile, I am not sure why my mom encouraged me to use the laxatives but according to her she never realized there was anything wrong with the situation. My dad did but for some unknown reason he did not step in the whole 7/8 years. Im not sure how often it was brought up at the doctors if even. But moving on to late to middle 2021 or 2022 or early 2023 I finally decided enough was enough and that i needed to be treated. As far as i remember they started me on miralax but also tried goculax not sure what its called or Metamucil. The pills and supplements did not work as well but the miralax worked wonders.
I am not sure how long I was on miralax and if I stopped at all before the first time I did but quite recently in 2024 or 2025 i was able to go off it on my own discretion despite doctors orders. I am pretty sure they were planning on weening me off or taking me off in the near future, but when I did it was relatively successful. I have been able to use the bathroom normally for a while now surprisingly, I still have issues with diet and etc. obviously but it’s gotten sososo much better. During the process of going off my stool has been somewhat dehydrated and mildly constipated which is to be expected due to lack of fiber and water, But overall it has been great.
I will link my old post at the end of this post but recently (saturday/friday) i was in the hospital somewhat so overnight. i will make another post about that soon but right now i am tired from lack of sleep (3 all nighters do to somewhat unrelated reasons.)
MY ORIGINAL REDDIT POST HERE
Hi I’m 17f and i have a history of constipation. For the past few months i was able to go off of miralax and use the bathroom normally (my diet is pretty bad), but for about 4 or 5 days i have been taking hydroxyzine for sleep which i was previously on for anxiety as needed about 1 pill each night that was prescribed by my nurse practitioner.
Sorry if its jumbled or un organized i haven’t slept well since Tuesday due to stopping cold turkey Wednesday night and i have issues with spelling etc. already. Basically i pulled all nighters Wednesday night and Thursday night. I went at 6 am this morning Friday and I’m pretty sure from what i remember it went relatively smoothly, but i don’t remember much.
at around 7 or 8 i went to use the bathroom, i think i took the miralax around 7:45 or 7:25 idk can’t remember but about an hour and a half i decided to try. I probably should have waited at home but i was scared to because someone being in the bathroom for an extended period of time, so i tried going and used a glycerin fleet liquid suppository.
I thought that maybe it would be successful but no, we have a bidet as well so i used it too but i don’t know. after doing a few exercises ok the toilet (TikTok ones i know not the best idea) i decided that we might as well go to the ER. Thats about all thats happened we are in the waiting room now.
Please try to be nice not hard i am still a kid, and and this is kind of a sensitive topic for me. Thank you
