Don't rely on laxatives, they are only for temporary use not daily use. They are going to cause you more problems. You need stool softener like magensium citrate or oxide. It's safe to take one supplement a day for long term use.
Do not use suppositories either, by inserting them up there you could make your fissure worse. Too much fibre and water bulks up the stool and that can also cause retears. You need to find a good balance for a healthy stool. Good that you're eating flaxseed, avoid white flour foods and anything constipating, incorporate also magnesium, pears, kiwis, apricots in your diet.
Also consider being referred to a CRS so you can discuss surgery. Sometimes it's too far gone and needs surgery if it's too deep.
Hope this helps!
