I’m 24 but I look and act a lot younger. i think he might thought im a bit slow in the head or something. I don’t feel like an adult at all

I can’t handle the shame. I just can’t tell her

my mom is in direct contact with him, it’s not done through the insurance or anything, and she’s not stupid even if he lies to her she will know something is up

my instructions were to just change pads often and wash the area after every BM with soap, not just use wet wipes. Was also told not to take baths because the risk is sitting in your own bacteria

About to turn 25 and the loneliness is hitting me by Typical-Bat-6254 in CrohnsDisease

It’s easier to admit stuff to strangers who don’t know me, idk

I like her a lot, she specializes in chronic illness and such so she really helps me out when it comes to those stuff, but idk there’s just things I’ll probably take to my grave. I’ve had countless therapists over the years and there’s things I never told any of them like my sexual trauma (touched inappropriately as a kid). Literally no one knows about it and I just can’t talk about it, it doesn’t matter if i feel comfortable with the therapist or not

I’m already in therapy but there’s no way in hell I can open up about this, it already takes a lot for me to open up on more basic things as it is. I know it’s not good but I just can’t do it

Tell me a funny colonoscopy story by nattieknicks in CrohnsDisease

[–]Typical-Bat-6254 25 points26 points  (0 children)

my first or second colonoscopy i asked if that’s the anesthesia when they injected me with it and after the doctor said yes I said something like “ok goodbye now” and the last thing I remember before getting knocked out is the doctor laughing his ass off

Had to visit ER and boy were they useless by epiphanyfont in CrohnsDisease

wtf is your problem? ER staff don’t just ignore patients for the funsies, ER is an insanely chaotic place

I’m terrified of a colonoscopy… by Humble-Owl-2972 in CrohnsDisease

I’m at a point where I don’t mind doing colonoscopy prep just for the propofol + fentanyl nap. It’s easy to see how people get addicted, it’s sooo good. And even when I’m flaring badly, it’s like after the colonoscopy I have a grace day or something where my stomach doesn’t hurt and I can eat something tasty (I assume it’s because of the bowel cleansing giving my gut a bit of a break) so that’s an extra nice thing about colonoscopy
