Journals and blogs discussion

Apologies if this has been discussed before or seems like a minor point. As someone new to the chastisement lifestyle, I was worried. It’s only been a week since I got locked up, but in recent days I’ve felt a cramp in my lower left abdomen. I suspect it’s linked to my CB3000. Currently, I’m shuffling to the bathroom feeling like I need to pass stool, though I think these are false urges caused by the device. Is this typical? Will the discomfort fade? Any advice for a newcomer would be appreciated.
