The gracious folks at Crohn's Forum have posted my latest guest post on their site! Please take a look, and spend some time on their discussion forum!
For this post, I decided to write about that feeling I run from all the time, which is that I often never feel like I'm "enough" - doing enough, being enough, for myself and for others. Everyone in this day and age of fast-paced harried lives has struggled with it, but the difference for someone living with an autoimmune disease is that at some point you HAVE to draw your toe in the sand. For your own health.
There is no staying up til wee hours of the morning to "get it all done" and scraping by the next day. Or if we have to, it's only a matter of time before our bodies protest with IBD symptoms.
Take a read, and let me know how you balance it all!
