Reply to "I am really depressed"

Hello, EricaLee.

If it feels like pieces of glass or razor blades moving around inside, it is fissures. The first time I felt that pain, I really thought I was moving shards of glass. I had no idea what fissures were. Doctors and nurses did not tell me (warn me). It felt like I was being cut inside with razor blades. What helped me was sitting in a basin of very warm water. It will bring blood flow to that area and help heal the internal and external fissures. The easiest way is to buy a a little basin called Sitz Bath. It's a small basin that fits exactly on top of your toilet with an opening at the back of the basin for water to flow out a little bit when you sit down on it. The water is so soothing. Fill it with water as warm or hot as you can tolerate. It will help ease the pain, and heal the cuts. Sitz Bath basins cost around $12 or $15 on Amazon. Comes with a plastic bag and tube so you can refill when the water cools. Read a book or tablet while soaking! I hope this helps. It's early days and it will get a little better every day.
