How has your IBD diagnosis affected your mood?

We hear from a lot of community members that being diagnosed with IBD has affected how they see the world - what do you think?

  1. Before being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis at Get 35 and finding out its chronic I was working full time and of course wife and mom of 2 boys and a dog. I was also working a second almost full-time job as a visual artist trying to break into public art commissions. But my career goals changed overnight. I had to keep my cable company job to have health insurance. I painted still and sold my art online till my younger son was diagnosed with a kidney condition. At that point dealing with my, illness, his and working were too much. I gave up painting.

    1. Hi -
      Thank you for commenting! We are so sorry that you're unable to paint, as we hope you're able to find the time between it all soon! Thinking of you and your son!

  2. My mood has gone through several stages. I was diagnosed in 1996 at the age of 16 and I didn't care at all. All I knew was that I could resume football activities once my flare was over. As I got older and started a family I felt lonely. Not a single person around me could understand my misery and dealing with fistulas, diarrhea, pain and other symptoms meant that I would miss family activities. Now that I have sustained remission for a substantial amount of time and have become very educated with my condition I am anxious to help everybody even it's only on the importance of maintaining your gut health.

    1. -
      Thank you so much for reaching out! We are glad to hear you're in remission right now. We appreciate your desire to help others learn gut health!

  3. Please tell me .I have the problem that I have to go toilet 3 hours after eating food

    1. Hi - Urgency is a symptom of IBD: https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/symptoms/urgency-and-incontinence/. Have you discussed this with your doctor? - Susan (InflammatoryBowelDisease.net Team Member)

  4. Mood forsure, without a doubt is impacted by my disease activity. When I am symptomatic, it is harder for me to remain optimistic or positive! Talk therapy, medication for depression, and meditating have been incredibly beneficial to me.
