“Are you sure you’re not just hungover?”
The beauty and also the curse of having an invisible illness (like Crohn’s Disease) is that it very often gets misunderstood. Where it still feels relatively unspoken about, the level of knowledge that surrounds it in daily life can be depressingly low, a result of which can be being the brunt of both hilarious and insensitive remarks.
With that in mind, I decided to create a short Shit People Say video to address the top 5 comments I’ve had said to me this year.
Check it out here, and if you too are suffering from something that people just don’t seem to be able to get their head around, share your comments and stories with me – I’d bloody love to read them!
I’m recently diagnosed with epilepsy and when I told a colleague her response was,
“Oh my ex husbands niece died from that two weeks ago. Very sudden. In her sleep. Left 2 children behind.”
Ermmmm….thanks?
