🟣 Today is World IBD Day – and it’s personal. 🟣
As many of you know, I live with Crohn’s disease, a type of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) that affects millions of people worldwide. It's an invisible illness that often involves chronic pain, fatigue, and unpredictable symptoms — but also resilience, strength, and determination.
At Changing Minds, we’re passionate about supporting people living with chronic conditions, whether physical or psychological. Living with IBD isn’t just about gut health — it impacts mental health, body image, relationships, and daily functioning.
Today, on World IBD Day, I want to:
💜 Acknowledge the strength of everyone navigating IBD
💜 Shine a light on invisible illnesses
💜 Encourage compassion and understanding — because you never know what someone else is managing silently
If you live with IBD or support someone who does, know that you're not alone. You are seen. You are strong. And there is support available.
