i can't deal anymore

At the very least you should get some kind of acknowledgement that you are dealing with a significant illness. Stress is strongly suspected of making this problem worse. Maybe you can get a letter from an MD and take fewer credits. An IBS specialist at UCLA, Dr. Chang, told me that the longer you have IBS the harder it is to treat. So it seems important to me that you deal with getting IBS under control as a priority. I've had it for 12 years, and I wish I had known how serious it could get when it started. I had chronic fatigue in college, but bad IBS is worse. Ask for help, and make sure people understand that you have a MEDICAL problem, that it isn't all in your head.
