Tell me this is normal

[wowhead]

I don't want to leave my house. It seems like every time I go somewhere I feel like shit the next day. If I just stay in my little bubble everything will be just fine. I'm already having anxiety about a trip to the ILs after Christmas.

It's not normal. (You know that though.) it sounds like agoraphobia and i suffered with it for YEARS. I'd go to school, come home, and stay in my room until I had to go to school again. It was my safe space. It was small and quiet and I could control every aspect of it. If I needed to have a panic attack, I could, and not have anyone else know about it. I could lay flat on my back and stare at the ceiling for 8 solid hours if I wanted to. It was MY space. I felt okay there.

But you know as well as I do that you can't live like that. Are you seeing a counselor/doctor about it?

This is something completely new. Between the Crohn's thing and the uterus thing not having immediate access to a bathroom stresses me the fuck out.

Yep, I'm trying to rationalize. Needless to say, I'm not seeing anyone for this issue yet. Actually I haven't even said it out loud until I posted this.

I know how overwhelming all of this can be. It's embarrassing and exhausting. You have all my hugs. Pm me if you ever need to talk

It's gotten a lot better. I haven't had explosive poos in more than 2 weeks. I have to go work on a project tomorrow that's 3 hours each way and I'm not stressing about it at all.

That's awesome wowhead! What's changed?

I think the Crohn's is finally going into remission. No pain, nausea and minimal poos for the last few days. It's the first time in months that's happened.
