having some serious bowel issues, help?

Question

So long story short, I can't poop. I only seem to be able to go with a LOT of stool softeners or laxatives. My diet isint great, in fact it's pretty bad, but I'm working on eating more fruit and I've been taking fiber supplements. I took laxatives 3 days in a row now, and I never seemed really get cleared out. I'm so full I have this thing where my bowels are so full that it presses up on my other organs and causes chest and abdominal pains. I can't even really eat, because when I do I get pain in the abdomen and feel as if I have to use the restroom RIGHT then, and am sprinting around looking for a restroom. Basically, I need help/suggestions on how I can REALLY clear my self out, all the way, and how I can regulate myself so I'm not always in pain and having to rush to the bathroom at the Wor st times possible because I'm so full that even eating something small makes me have to rush to go.  Anything helps, sorry this is kind of a unorganized post, I just am really desperate for some answers, I've been having these issues for months, even years and am really tired of. Thanks for anything!

Constipation is often due to an unhealthy diet with insufficient fiber.

Most people don't eat enough fiber.

Macro cereal gentle fibre, oat bran, linseed, Psyllium seeds, wheat germ, wheat bran, Chia seeds and Psyllium husks are very high fiber foods and there is also a lot of fiber in fruit and vegetables.

Both constipation and IBS as well as diarrhea can often be cured with liquid chlorophyll as in a web search for "liquid chlorophyll" + constipation + ibs.

Other natural ways to relieve constipation are covered in a web search for "natural ways to relieve constipation".

You answered your own question when you said, "My diet isint great, in fact it's pretty bad".
You are becoming dependent on laxatives, and the more you take the more you need.
You need to increase your intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and water. 
Fruit salads, green salads with a variety of vegetables, oatmeal with flax meal and fruits. 
Make sure you're getting some exercise, even if it's just walking. Moving with exercise will help to get your insides "moving" as well.
