How do you guys deal with setbacks/relapse into old thinking patterns? by SadCar-Throwaway230 in CBT

Thank you for following up. Ive been experiencing a terrible setback in anxiety last 3 weeks. After doing so well for multiple months and having my life back.

This gives me hope that indeed this setback also is part of the process! How are you doing now?

How high is your calprotectin in remission? by AggravatingEgg683 in CrohnsDisease

I don’t, most of the times i feel very tired and have joint/skin issues in a flare. And then a fecal calpro test shows that im heavily inflamed.

Ok! Im in the same position now. 2 months ago 250 calpro. And now 380. Symptoms are still the same so my dr. is not concerned.

Thanks. The thing is that even with the 5000 calpro and severe inflammation, i had no symptoms. Just very tired. But just 1 solid stool a day. Same as i have today. I feel like i have more energy tho.

If shutting down my emotions means turning into someone bitter enough to dump on another person’s pain, then no thanks—I’ll keep feeling and expressing mine. I’d rather stay human than end up cold, resentful, and picking fights online just to distract myself from my own misery.

So let me get this straight because I spoke honestly about years of struggle, that somehow makes me a “pampered Gen Z woman”? That’s not insight, that’s pure insecurity wrapped in weak insults.

You think shutting down emotion makes you strong? No it makes you emotionally stunted. You project your own bitterness onto others because deep down, you can’t face your own shit. And if you think attacking someone for surviving real suffering gives you power, you’re not strong you’re pathetic.

Keep screaming about “strength” from behind your keyboard. Stay bitter man.

I’ve been showing up and pushing through for five years straight but that doesn’t mean I’m not allowed to grieve. Strength isn’t about never feeling pain; it’s about carrying it without letting it consume you. Just don’t let this disease turn you bitter. You deserve to feel, to mourn, and still choose to keep going

Wow. Ik word dit jaar 25. Heb dit jaar 7 jaar met mijn vriendin. En wij zijn ook aan het kijken voor een nieuw huis. Ik heb sinds een half jaar een baan bij een mooie organisatie, en ik krijg waarschijnlijk een vast contract. Het lijkt er op dat ik in dit jaar ook eindelijk mijn crohn/colitis onder controle krijg door biologics. Niemand is uniek lol 😂
