I know IBS is a disability but I often forget to think of it as one because for me my whole thought process is "damn, going to the toilet is so physically exhausting because of my stomach issues and chronic fatigue" and "i hope im not super gassy today because i have x thing to do and i would very much like to not die of embarrassment" and that's kind of the extent of it. And then I remember "oh yeah the limited food intake, physical exhaustion, and bad stomach pain and cramping are in fact disabling to me.
