Making Space

I recently experienced a break up from my off and on boyfriend of 5 years and fiance of 6 months.  I thought I would be sick from the stress of the breakup but honestly I was sicker from the stress of the relationship. He's not a bad person inside and I'm not going to bad talk him, but the relationship was toxic and being with him put me in a low place with little confidence in myself and I felt distanced from who I want to be. As hard as it was to let go, I needed to make that space in my life for God and my family and to allow positive things to come in.

Fortunately,  I have experienced a significant decrease in my Crohn's symptoms since he left. I've been enjoying some much needed time with my family and close friends.  I'm incredibly grateful for all of their support!

Stress: My Biggest Trigger

I have been sick all weekend. Can't eat and when I do I can't keep it down and I can't get my stomach to settle.  I'm incredibly stressed with my personal life and I know that's the cause of it. It literally started the same moment I started getting upset. Now I'm faced with the battle of what to do. I have to decide to do something that will save me a lot of long term suffering but is going to cause a huge amount of stress and pain for a while until I cope with the change. I'm so lost.
