Hi everyone, I am new to this site. I have been suffering with Crohn’s disease, for over 20 years now, which is a bowel condition, which can be painful, embarrassing, it causes weight loss. I have had many operations on my bowl due to it becoming too narrow so I become very sick. I also suffer with depression and anxiety attacks and feel very tired, all the time. I worry about my illness especially about being admitted to hospital life feels like a big effort for me to get through.
I have missed out on about 20 years of my life so far, due to not able to get out much and meet people. I have messed up my degree due to being sick and suffering from anxiety about failing my exams and unable to cope with the demands of the course, to the extent that I have tried to take my own life twice. I lost my Mother last year, and she was the only person who cared about me and understood what I was going through. Now I am alone and worried about becoming ill when there is no one to help me. It would be good for me to talk about my feeling and thoughts and maybe by able to express myself, I might be able to cope with life. It’s been good joining this site where I am not alone with my illness, and I hope I can be inspired by fellow nmp members. :)
