The Bubble Over My Head: Don’t Let Chronic Illness ‘Own’ You
Monica says she’s been diagnosed with Sleep-Related Eating Disorder (S.R.E.D.), a condition that triggers her to binge eat in her sleep, and C. diff (Clostridioides difficile), an infection that causes inflammation of the colon and severe diarrhea. The 38-year-old says she spends most of her time bedridden or in the bathroom, has lost most of her friends, and feels isolated due to her illness.
Dr. Phil says that people who are chronically ill or in pain sometimes take on their disease as their identity, causing their world to become “very small.”
