When I was first diagnosed with Crohn’s, I thought my friendships would stay the same. I assumed the people in my life would understand, would adjust, would still be there for me.
Some did. Some didn’t.
The Ones Who Stayed
💜 The friends who text me, even when I cancel plans again.
💜 The ones who don’t make me feel guilty for needing rest.
💜 The ones who bring over dinner, send funny memes, and remind me I’m still me, even when I feel like nothing but a patient.
The Ones Who Left
💔 The friends who got frustrated when I couldn’t “just push through.”
💔 The ones who took my cancellations personally, as if I wanted to be sick.
💔 The ones who slowly disappeared because my life no longer fit their idea of “fun.”
Losing friends hurt, but it also taught me something: The right people will make space for you, even on your hardest days. And those are the ones who truly matter.
Stay Strong!
My Crohnstipated Life
