My mom really said it...

I really cannot believe what my mom just said to me. She told me I had to learn to not let my job get to me. I am so over being told I should not have emotions and feelings. I think I will go off if one more person tells me to calm down or get over it. Ugh. I would not have Crohn's if I just did not have emotions. Really. Does she really think I have "done" this to myself? Arrgh. I could go on but I have to stop having my emotions. LOL.

Yes, it's precious when the people closest too you belittle you suffering and show zilch empathy.
I'm sorry you have to deal with this, I know how difficult and annoying it is. I also especially love it when people constantly supervise what I'm eating, and say to me in the most paternal way "you should really take better care of yourself" (cuz obviously I'm doing something wrong if I'm sick)
Please have all the emotions you want! It took me a long time to deal with this, and many people around me are still very unsupportive, but I have found friends who are luckily.
