:depressed: I was diagnosed with Crohn's in 2001 when I was 21. I never really had too many problems until 2003, but since then I have been admitted to hospital at least 2 times a year with obstructions and have had 4 lots of surgery, the last being in May 2006. I always manage to get my life back up and running, just about, but after 6 months it always deteriorates rapidly and I once again feel very poorly. The doctors do try and fix the problem with drugs but it always seems to head the same way - back to the operating table.
Once again I am not well and about to undergo another attempt at strictureplasty and don't feel too confident in a positive result. I find it very difficult to cope with, I think I put on a brave face but this latest episode has really got me down. I used to be extremely out going and active and I now find myself hiding away and rarely socialising. I have accepted I have the illness but really don't know how to deal with it in my head, and after all this time the confused, angry, depressed feelings have intensified. I really feel like I am going to lose the plot. :depressed:
