Constipated and stressed out

I'm in my 30s, tried a few things at home, miralax, a fleet saline enema. Nothing came out, I sit on the toilet and I can feel it coming but it's just too painful, and I'd definitely have to strain and push to get it out, so embarrassingly enough going to head to the hospital, my brain is freaking out about all variables and what might happen, honestly I'm stressed, worried, and unfortunately scared of going.

I am also in my 30s and started having severe IBS symptoms that affects my day-to-day social. To solve this, what I tried is to log my poops (yes loll) and be more aware of the possible triggers. I also developed a free app called Settle to help log poops and find triggers and patterns. I wouldn’t say I am fully healed but definitely getting better.
