Video 1 - Transcription

So Crohn's disease can be really hard because it like debilitates your muscles and it makes it hard to do daily activities. So the best way to support my friends who have Crohn's is I just try to be there for them and like understand when they need to take a break and help them when they're feeling down and things like that.

So if one of your friends or family is kind of going through getting diagnosed with Crohn's disease right now, I would say the best thing that you could do is just kind of be there for them and kind of just do the things that they need you to do. Like, I know when I was diagnosed, at least when I was in the hospital, I was like, I don't want anyone to see me like this. Like, I look disgusting right now. Like, please everyone go away. Just kind of leave me alone. But I will say having people there in my life just to send me like little goodies and just like text me and say things like that, that's what meant the most to me. Just knowing that there was people on my side who weren't going to judge me for it and they were just going to support me through it all.
