How can a person keep a chronic disease from taking over their life and their identity?

Get support: Important question! healing from chronic illness takes time and focus. But illness is not a person's identity, though society can make it seem so. I say that I am a person living with chronic illness, in my case crohn's disease, but I am much more than cd. I have learned to be curious about where cd will take me in my life, who i will meet along the way, and appreciate the journey.
