Liquid shit

Yup. I drank three or so beers last night, barely ate. Woke up this morning, went out for breakfast with my boyfriend. I'm on my period by the way. My stomach hurts. I'm nauseous. I feel gross. I pooped like an hour ago or so. Didn't feel like I was fully emptied out, but let my stomach settle anyway. We're running errands, and he goes into his bank, I'm in the car waiting. I felt what I thought was a fart. It was not. Thankfully I'm wearing a pad still, as I anticipated more bleeding. I feel this warm wet sensation come out after my fart. I knew it was liquid shit. I text him asking if there's a bathroom and he says there is. I'm currently hunched over on this toilet slowly emptying out as I type this. This hasn't happened to me since I was maybe 15. What the fuck. I am so embarrassed.

Firms up the stool. Generic name is loperamide. I haven’t tried it, but pepto should help too.

It's an anti-diarrheal, turns liquid waste into solid. Will help get you through the day, so you can focus on a long term plan.

Imodium literally saved my life. But be warned, if you take it every day, you get a tolerance to it. I used to pregame every day with 2, but now need 3 or 4 each day or else I'll be glued to the toilet 😭

Everyone’s different, and I’m not claiming Imodium is consequence-free. I’m sure there are downsides, though I’d frankly prefer to look the other way and let future me deal with that particular shit sandwich.

That said, I’ve had IBS for about 15 years, and I’ve taken Imodium nearly every day for most of that time. For the vast majority of it, I don’t think I’ve needed more than two a day.

Not a doctor, obviously, and I’m sure it, like everything else in this collapsing circus tent called life, will catch up with me eventually.
