How do I feel less embarrassed about talking about symptoms?
It can take time to feel at ease talking about symptoms that others may find awkward or unfamiliar. Being able to speak about your experience in your own way can bring a greater sense of confidence and control.
"I’ve learned to talk without embarrassment by owning my colitis. Everyone has bowel movements and it is something we can talk about. I’ve found that most people are accepting and don’t make me feel embarrassed. I choose how much or how little to share but being open about my colitis has made it easier to deal with."
