    I know I've said this before too but I really dislike myself for having IBD .  It makes me feel very upset with myself.

    I'm sorry that it upsets you so much. I know it's hard to live with an illness that just comes out of nowhere. But please don't dislike yourself.

    You are so lovely to members of the community, and I know many are so happy when you check in, join in with chats and play games. Who you are isn't all IBD, it's just a part and at the moment it's making the most noise. Sorry if I have asked this before, have you asked about talking therapies with your GP?

    Hi @Hannah_Scope , I've had lots of talking therapies I do find them very difficult sometimes I've  had to stop engaging due to how upsetting it can get . I'm awaiting an autism and adhd assessment.  One mental health worker has been talking to me over the phone from time to time she's due to contact me in December.  I will try when she calls to mention this to her because I don't think this lady who I'm talking too actually knows how I feel about my IBD and how it effects my mental health. Thank you so much for your kindness and support and time it really is appreciated.  I will try to engage more in the games . A GREAT BIG THANK YOU @Hannah_Scope . You are an absolute star 🌟,  a diamond 🔹 and a real gem 💎.

    Hello @Strawberry1

    I'm so sorry to hear it is flaring again. Have you contacted your IBD team for support? I would encourage you to :) 

    For some with IBD, stress can contribute to flare. There is this great app called Headspace, but I would suggest looking at their YouTube channel as the content is free there. Hopefully it can be a help <3

    I get very anxious about getting in touch with the IBD team . I know they are there to help . I feel like I'm burdening them and I know I wouldn't be . I want to speak with my GP  about something so I could mention it to them . I will check out the Headspace stuff . Thanks again for your time it really appreciated. Please take care of yourself too . Your a 24 carat diamond 🔹.

    Sometimes I need a bit of a cry to release the tension.

    I'm so sorry @Hannah_Scope , I sometimes struggle to ask for help . It takes me some time to pluck up courage.  I will ask eventually but it will take me a while.  Thank you again.

    That's ok! It's hard to talk about issues that are so private. I just want you to know that they are specialists so the best people to talk to when you feel ready <3

    Hi @Beaver79 , I've only just seen this . I apologise for the late reply. I appreciate your support @Beaver79 . I know I should speak to someone it takes me ages to pluck up the courage to call doctors etc I don't like speaking to people over the phone I find it difficult but I have to get in touch with my GP soon about something else so hopefully that will give me a kick up the backside to do something.  Thank you again. You Take care too please.
