Since having this damn fissure i've noticed that i'm more emotional, when I say that I mean that it would be easy for me to cry (not very manly I know!), not just because of the pain, it seems more deeply rooted than that, it definitely affects me psychologically I know that much, sometimes I just get sick and tired of fighting the constant up-hill battle and just when you think your on top, you come crashing back down to earth, it's this that I think plays with the emotions, there seems to be highs and lows associated with having a fissure, when there's little or no pain then i'm on top of the world and could dance up and down, almost manic!! then there's days when the pain levels are uncontrollable and I sink to the depths of despair which is very scary!! I guess what i'm asking is, is this normal? and does anyone else experience the highs and lows??
