I'm assuming this is a parent or a partner. You need to do what's best for YOU. No one else is living your life, YOU are. So I'd try to work on not allowing anyone to tell you what you can and can't do (within reason, of course). Unless, of course, you are a minor....then the rules are a bit different. You are not wasting anyone's time by posting here, so don't worry about that! You don't have to be silent anymore...

I, too, have stomach/bowel issues...anxiety really sucks sometimes!
