My cousin has chrons and has spent most of her adult life in and out of hospital. The anxiety that not being able to control parts of your body and the fear of being on a toilet bag, the intensely insane process you go through to get diagnosed when most doctors just think you're crazy and a hyperchondriac till you get a diagnosis, must be insanely traumatic. Not to mention the physical pain. Theres also a huge amount of people who get diagnosed with it who develope eating disorders over time as they try to control their body in some way. It's not joke tbh. I'd hate having it, I'll stick with my bipolar
