Crohn’s disease has affected my identity in many ways. I think this shows in the way that I introduced myself up top– “My name is Lauren and I have Crohn’s Disease”, rather than “my name is Lauren and I am doing my Doctorate training to be a Clinical Psychologist, I love my dog, I’m getting married” etc. It takes up so much space in who I am and how I identify myself because it creeps into every aspect of my existence.
Love can be a dangerous thing. Dangerous because breakups can happen anytime, even while in public.
It’s certainly not the best way to go about ending things, but leave it to the internet to reveal dramatic breakups they’ve actually witnessed in public.
