I’m starting to get bad stomach cramps, it started last week I’d not eaten any different to how I normally do it just came on suddenly I’ve felt slightly constipated but with diarrhoea and it’s not nice, I feel like the only thing that could of caused this is stress. I’m eating normally like I always do so I don’t blame that but lately I’ve been feeling upset with work unfortunately I don’t really get along this manager as well as I used to and I have started to feel very miserable and stressed about it when I turn up for work and this manager is present. Little did I know this would really get to me and make my Crohn’s worse makes me feel worse knowing I work there 30 hours a week and really need the money I wish I didn’t have to go. I don’t know what could make it better or how I can deal with the stress because I hate stomach cramps there the worst thing! I’ve lost my appetite and haven’t been eating well since. Hoping I will be back to normal soon and it will all pass.
(Normal for me: still always have diarrhoea atleast once a day but with no stomach cramps and I always normally have an appetite.)
I know stress can have a massive effect on Crohn’s because before I was diagnosed in October/November 2017 I had been dealing with it since February 2017. The months before I was diagnosed I was in pain couldn’t walk after going to the toilet 4/5 times a night had severe piles and it was stress contributing to it as my doctor told me it was just IBS as soon as I was diagnosed I felt relieved and I immediately became better without any treatment, I wasn’t stressed anymore because I’d found out what was causing all of this pain and stress.
What’s the best way to deal with feeling stressed and upset!?
