Crohns Disease is an autoimmune condition whereby your immune system attacks healthy tissue in your digestive tract.
When youre not in remission this is often called a flare up.
Then I stopped going out for food.
I stopped making any weekend plans.
All the time thinking that I was actually just an introvert and didnt really enjoy socializing.
I was utterly convinced this was just me getting older (at 23!?)
and realizing what I liked and didnt like doing.
Looking back I can tell you what was actually happening.
I had just moved to a new city and was meeting new people.
It wasnt my Crohns causing these changes to my daily life it was me.
If I made the decisions to avoid these things, I was in control.
Irritable Bowel Disease is something that I now see can affect all of these things.
Thats the hard part!
