But my family does not seem to understand why this might be stressful for me and why maybe--just maybe--I want to be left the hell alone during this time.

I need to find a gastroenterologist, as well, and preferably an endocrinologist to talk to. I don't have any money or transportation of my own, so my hunting for jobs and doctors is limited to what I can do from my computer. And yet she also gets on my case about spending so much time indoors at the computer. .________.
