Had a tough week and Feeling depressed

[HorseLover!!]

I have had a tough week at work with all the new sypmtoms that I have been having and the pain. All of it has been affecting the way that I work both mentally and physically the people that I work with don't understand they just look at me and think that I am fine but on the inside I'm really not all I get from them is "I'm sure it's not that bad" or "it will pass over soon" I've had one of them ask/say to me "my stomach hurts does that mean I have it LOL"- she made a joke about it , also someone said "you probably just have food poisoning or something". My boss is ok about it but she doesn't fully understand even though my mum has explained to her about and my mum even mentioned that I will sometimes need to take a break every now and then, but the only problem is I get told off for sitting down during work even if it's just 5 mins :ybatty:. I've had so many things said about me as to why I have to keep on running to the toilet or why am I not eating and things like that, normally I would be able to cope with things like this but recently I haven't been able to and with all the new symptoms it makes it really hard :runaway:

No matter how I try to explain it to people they still don't understand I've been so tired out to the point where I just collapse becasue I am just so overtired and I can't function properly, recently I have been forcing yself to eat otherwise I won't eat anything at all but the only problem is I get pain right after I have eaten something :confused2:, I think I am going to be ringing my IBD nurse again to see what she thinls I should do.

Plus it has been half term so work has been 3 times as busy then it normally would :yrolleyes:. Some people think that I am faking my Crohn's :ymad:.

Sorry about this I just needed to let it out

I'm so sorry to see you've been having such a hard time it's so horrible when people make those kind of comments, do they realise that they are actually hurtful or do you think they don't really get the significance of what they are saying?

I really hope that you have a break through soon and start feeling better both physically and mentally, and in the mean time we are all here for you :ghug: feel free to let it out as much as you need.
