Colleen's blog

I am new to blogging but I need some help from the celiac community. I have a background in psychology and I have set out to write a book. I have been diagnosed for 5 years (am 32 years old) after years and years of misdiagnosis. After being sick for most of my life...I feel I have only just 'awoke' to realize that I have much more mental and physical capacity than I did when I was trying to cope with life undiagnosed. However, this doesn't discount where I have been, on my quest and journey to health...what I have found is that we are offered many practical ways of dealing with a diagnosis, however the emotional issues that go along with having had a relatively easy yet elusive cure to years of chronic illness is what still gets me down on many days. I guess this is where I still feel alone...even though I know that I am not..I think it would help to read others honest, very honest stories about where they have been in their journey for health. So with that said, I am collecting stories, real people and real stories about what it was like before, during and after diagnosis. Also, it can be anonymous if you choose!
