Thank you all so much for replying! It really helps sharing here

ThunderBow, I have a functional gut disorder. Pretty much the same symptoms as Crohn's but this shouldn't cause any serious complications.. I just find it utterly mortifying and feel like I'm the most disgusting person in the world.. Which is weird as I'd NEVER think like this of someone else with the same issues, I'd be sympathetic to their plight, but somehow I can't extend the same sympathy to myself..
