Hi fellow bowel fighters!

Stress is a crucial factor to managing the deasese. I'm sick on CU for 9 years and I didn't yet found good, fast and easy methods to lower the stress levels. I'm not looking for substances as I get easily addicted.

When I can, I'm exercising with bands and riding a bicycle but during flare it's not possible. Playing computer games helps a bit.

What are your ways of cooling down and resting from problems?

That's what my father does in his free time. Sounds like a good idea!
