Hey I'm new here!
My name is Amanda My girlfriend of 5 months has crohns.
I love her more then anything on this world. She told me she has Crohn's about 3 months ago and since she has had no flare ups i underestimated her illness. She's had stomach pains now and then but nothing to severe. Four days ago we were out at a restaurant she decided to treat herself to a margarita cause she's been doing so well with taking care of herself. She got very sick 30 minutes after drinking it . She ran straight to the bathroom and kept throwing up. I took her straight home. The first night she wanted me to leave cause she didn't want me to see her that sick. But the next morning I came over to bring her some pedalyte and applesauce so she can hydrate a little.
She's been so distant and I understand. She has barely said a word to me. I know she appreciates that I'm here helping in anyway I can but it's hard to see her this way.
I feel so selfish for needing some kind of reassurance that I'm doing this right. I feel selfish for needing some kind of attention when I know she's really sick. I feel selfish for crying at her pain when I know I should be staying strong and helping her. I try and help her as much a I know how to . I just can't help to think she needs more then what I can help her with.
