Hey all once again I haven't kept up to speed on here but it's a place I know I can come when I want to be understood and supported. For that, I am forever greatful to the people who run this forum.
I've just had enough. Had my recent scope to look for healthy bowel as I'm now agreeing to a Resection. Pain is off the scales daily and I have no way of managing it, mentality is horrendous; I don't want to do anything anymore.
Having said that I posted last year just before Christmas of feeling depressed and well, truthfully.. it hasn't changed. I'm still as down as ever and the stigma of having this disease is getting to me now to the point I push away everything good in my life to compensate for me wanting to be alone.
The amount of times I've heard the words "it'll be fine", I can't even count. I understand that my surgery will correct some pain issues but how do you fix the mind of someone who has crohn's disease? I feel like everyday is a struggle to think about and I can't be the one alone on this.
Thank you for this amazing forum, it's the only place I can speak my mind without being afraid of the judgement from others.
