Managing stress (self.crohnsandcolitis)

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?

Those beaters are great stress relief too, but the apartment may hinder your efforts. I used to have a great doumbek and I will get another one someday.
