Coping when it gets too much

by Crystal
(Tasmania, Australia)

Hi,

I was diagnosed with Crohn's about 2 and a half years ago. Just lately I feel like I have been sick all the time and haven't felt well for more than a day at a time. This is really starting to get to me and I'm finding myself getting upset all the time! How do you deal with this when it all gets too much??

 Relax
by: Mike

Do what you gotta do to blow off steam. Like Tod said, Yoga, if you're in to that sort of thing.
I hit the weights, go for a bike ride or run, beat the hell out of a heavy bag for a bit, video games, or just take a nap. Don't become a victim of self pity, that's a bad place to be and doesn't fix anything. Whatever it is that puts you at ease, do it!

 stressed out solutions
by: Tod

Not to bore you, but i have had CD for the better part of 38 years. I find that stress is a double edged sword that has to be tamed. The good news is it can be tamed.
Spiritually, I found that meditation is my savior. I took up yoga about 20 yrs ago and have been meditating for 35 years(twice a day). it really has helped me with the stress and the less stress the less flare ups. And I want you to understand that I work in a very high stress industry of the suit kind.
Physically(besides Remicade which has been my savior) I found that some of the herbal teas such as Chamomile and Yogi Tea's bedtime tea have been great when it all becomes overwhelming.
Working out, the right treatment and a good diet will make you feel better, which will, in turn, lessen your stress meter.
