Going through a break up really fucking sucks when you have stress induced ibs. Every time I hear their name I have a flare up.

It's been two weeks since we broke up and you're telling everyone how in love you are with the girl you practically cheated on me with and I'm doubled over crying in the pain of anxiety induced IBS every day, trying to study for my final exams and trying to think about anything but you but your face is the only image I see. I’m so fucking alone. How could you do this to me. You promised. You said you still cared about me. Bullshit.

(But my amazing date sat with me, turned on Danny Phantom, and rubbed my back until I was able to get up and go home)
