Nah, I do my best to not take any shit unless I have to. Right now that's tumor meds, blood thinners and the birth control. Sometimes I just stop pooping; don't know if it's just a stress thing.

Monthly bullshit won't happen without it thanks to the tumor (also didn't want kids anyway).

its possible that its related to the birth control. My wife used to take progesterone and it would make her constipated.
It would also erratically amplify her emotions, and make her depressed.

Hormonal birth control is one of the major factors in how fucked up modern women are.

Absolutely true.
But I'm not joking about that shitting thing. That is a higher priority than a new job or a new boyfriend or depression. I'd have even prioritized it over getting rid of the ex but thats already done now (and it sure sounds like for the best).
I say this in a spirit of wishing you well - make this priority #1 until its fixed. It will be quite literally life changing.

Yes but for good reason. Story time!
I spent most of my life with "bellyaches". Not like lactose intolerance, where a specific food causes discomfort. And not just like "I need to fart". I mean like a deep, knotted, twisted feeling in my guts that nothing would fix. It was more or less always there, just a question of degree, sometimes better, sometimes worse. I visited lots of doctors. I had a major car accident at 16 that ruptured my intestines, so they were willing to explore lots of possibilities. But nobody could ever find anything wrong. I pretty much lived my life with that constant discomfort.
Eating increased the discomfort, so I was eating less. One month, in my mid 40s, it got so bad I found I'd lost 10 pounds in a month because I was eating so little. So I visited a doctor again. As usual he had nothing useful to offer, but in our discussion he mentioned trying a fiber supplement. Not that he thought it would be a cure or anything, just something I might try, it couldnt hurt.
2 to 3 spoonfuls of fiber supplement a day changed my fucking life. I feel great all the time now.
Then I learned that lots of people don't even poop once a day. Some go days. Some go a week or more. Holy shit, I cannot imagine the discomfort. Or rather put it the other way - after living with constant discomfort for so long, they can't even imagine how theyre supposed to feel. Then I started reading about the huge health problems associated with dysfunctional bowels. Like your poop frequency is one of the best predictors of overall health.
Basically everyone should be taking fiber supplements, and if you're not pooping at least once a day you should make that like your #1 priority until its fixed. It will change your life. That is not even a little bit of an exaggeration. I am putting this in the depression thread intentionally.

Sounds like you're full of shit. Who could've known fibers could help with chronic constipation. Any GP, ever, mebbe?
