I hope you never do. I had to have surgery for one after trying to heal it with ointments for 6 months. I was a shell of myself, and could barely care for my baby because the pain was so physically and mentally debilitating. I honestly never thought of how pain could cause someone to want to stop living (and I’ve had major back surgery, gone through child birth, had tonsils out as an adult, had wisdom teeth out w no pain killers after), but that fissure really made me think about how nice it would be for death to take the pain away.
