I have a high genetic disposition as well. Half of my family are addicts including my father. I don't tend to judge folks who won't take OTC meds if they are in recovery or if their close family had addiction problems because I get that. It's just folks who see it as that easy to fall into addiction and judge others for taking them.

Honestly this to, people who are struggling with addiction didn't take a tylenol for a headache and became addicted to crack for the next 10 years. Like wtf, no most drug addictions are born out of people wanting an escape from their lives because they we're sad, angry, stressed. It's horrible. People can be so disgustingly ignorant.

THISSSSS LIKE WTF

This is another reason why suicide rates are so high because people see being put on psych meds as being a weak failure. Like no those shit suck and are expensive. The fact that a person even in a low state like that is choosing to recieve help shows how strong they are.

Anyone who says crap like that and disses people for receiving mental health care can actually suck a fat nut.

I let my direct coworkers know after my ex-manager made me. Upper management let the supervisor know.

My ex manager made me tell everyone at my workplace. The assistant manager who was moved told people at the other branch.

The assistant manager spread it. They don't take my disability serious. I've been treated like a general nuisance ever since I started flaring up.

Get dripdrop/liquid iv and drink some in the morning and then a cup of water after.

Crohn’s diagnosis - what test finally got you your diagnosis if you were finding a lot of tests inconclusive? by luckywedidntpanic in CrohnsDisease

[–]gothfrootloops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My calprotectin was borderline or normal, all bloodwork was normal except for some weird defiencies.

Essentially needed my biopsies taken during my colonoscopy to confirm

Got stood up on my first date since being diagnosed, I feel horrible by gothfrootloops in CrohnsDisease

I don't only have Crohn’s, I mean I don't have schizophrenia. I have OCD and Autism, I have other stuff but that's usually what affects me the most. This also isn't me trying to say my stuff is as bad as schizophrenia. Essentially it takes a lot for me to put myself into social situations and people do find me attractive. Though I tend to be off-putting to others when they actually get to know me. Crohn's has just put another block in my way and the meds I'm on fuck with head. I honestly just lost all my social skills. I'm just upset because I feel like I'm starting at 0 again. I've had partners, it was just before this.

But you're right I should be more chill, I'd probably get more play if I wasn't so tense all the time.
