Hello Everyone, My name is Nick and I am new to this site. Actually new to the whole idea of a support group for this particular area of my life. I have been diagnosed with Crohn's since I was 13 years old. Around 21 it got very bad and surgery was the only option. I had a bowel resection and life has not been quite the same since. I am grateful and extremely blessed, though some days there is some pain, most times I go through the day pain free. I struggle as I am sure many do with the bathroom issue. It is particularly difficult giving my interests and hobbies such as hiking or live music. Both places where a restroom is usually not readily available. haha I have done my best to not let this disease stop me from doing the things I love. I have been feeling it a bit more after moving to Ohio and having to make a whole new group of friends. The stress of social situations, college classes starting up, and a big move have cause some extreme discomfort. I feel some depression and isolation beginning to set in which I do not want any part of, so I decided to give this a try. Just looking for some support from people who truly understand life with Crohn's.
Thanks everyone, look forward to getting to know you all!
Nick
