I Have A Bad Tummy: I would do ANYTHING to be able to live like a normal 21 year old girl.

ihaveabadtummy:

Being sick is really getting old. :/

It’s taking my youth from me and I absolutely can’t stand it.

To wake up in the morning and have a hard time JUST BREATHING, really makes trying to “live your life” hard to do. I can’t wait till this is a past time and I can do everything and anything I want…

I love this post, it’s how I’ve been feeling during this current flare up. I pray all my fellow crohnies are doing wrll and in remission.

ihaveabadtummy: “Be patient.” Yeah easy for you to say, you aren’t the one who is chronically ill.” I know we all can relate to this

Hi! I just read what you wrote after reblogging my post about having more friends with IBD than without. I have to say that I am very shy too (i know it seems the opposite) and that every single time I go to meet someone new with IBD I have a little panic attack beforehand. It's a hard thing to do, but once you do it it's amazing! I hope that one day you have a great support system in real life too. -Sara

Thanks. Your courage and strength inspire me. I really hope that one day I will be able to overcome my weariness of never being able to find good friends I can trust. Thanks again Sara for reaching out to me. -Nicole

Inflamed and Untamed: I have more friends WITH Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis than without!

agirlwithguts:

So Thursday i’m leaving work talking to some of my friends and co-workers when I was asked to hang out Friday night and what was my response? “Can’t. I’m having dinner with a bunch of people with no colons.” It slipped out of my mouth without thinking until I was met with a response of laughter…

It must feel amazing to have this. I’m just so shy and uncertain about going out into the real world and trying to put myself out there. Life has dealt me some pretty crappy friends in the past, and unfortunately that has made me become very weary and uncertain when it comes to trying to make new friends and sharing my story about my crohn’s.

I read your post on you worrying about Crohn's and relationships. I want to tell you that they do eventually work out. I've been married 2 years to an amazing man who not only gets what Crohn's is, but takes interest in what the hell is going on with me. You'll find someone who is mature enough to handle a little bit of health turbulence. Honestly when my husband and I started dating the first thing I made sure of was that he knew what he was getting into. I hope this helps <3

Asked by: jessikizzle

Thanks. It definitely helps to know that there is hope. Starting a family is the next thing that is worrisome. I know it’s possible, but I also know it is not an easy road to navigate. Your message shows me there is light at the en of the tunnel. Thanks.

Wade'sz World: Pets & IBD

wadeszworld:

I believe that one of the greatest support systems in an IBD patient’s life or any chronic illness patient for that matter are pets. I have six cats of my own and I know when I am having a bad Crohn’s day, I know they will never leave my side. I could not imagine my life without a pet ever. They…

This is so true, I love my dog. It is proven that pets are therapeutic and can help with dozens of stress related things.
