I know this is 7 month's pregnant belly, but this is EXACTLY AND LITERALLY how I look when I get bloated. And it happens so often it is devastating. Daily, literally. Sometimes only 5 times a week.
Breathing, walking, bending, sleeping etc. gets difficult, too. LIFE gets difficult and disheartening.
Did your clothes fit in the morning? Lol doesn't anymore in the afternoon! So, buy only very stretchy things, OK?
Did that dress look nice? Lol now it's a maternity dress on you! But, if you don’t mind people giving you seats, go ahead.
Walking up stairs? Lol good luck trying to breathe! Remember to stop occasionally and hold on the railing.
Exercising? Lol nope, can’t breathe. Stay home, maybe stretch a little but forget everything REAL exercise like dancing or martial arts.
Feeling really like a vixen this morning? Nice bc you'll feel like a whale later. You’ll walk like a penguin, too.
What’s worst is being a childfree (I know I don’t want to have kids when I was 6yo) and STILL looking like being pregnant. It is really frigging disheartening and annoying - and emotionally hard.
I have had this since childhood and it looks I’ll go to my grave with it. No one knows what it is but most likely it is endometriosis and/or candida overgrowth. Naturally IBS fits, too, but so does a gallbladder dysfunction. Doctor suspected candida.
I have tried all but I can't do nothing but live and suffer with it... :/
Just a little holler if there’s anyone in my followers suffering the same. You are not alone! Sometimes it is important to find out others have the same issue, as it gives you some soothing.
At least someone there understands!
