Coming soon

Second Stall is getting started.

This site exists because living with Crohn’s disease isn’t just about symptoms or treatments — it’s about everything that happens around them.

The work meetings you sit through while quietly panicking.
The public restrooms you map out in advance.
The anxiety of looking fine while feeling anything but.
The constant calculation of whether to push through or say no.

That part doesn’t get talked about enough.

What this site will be

Second Stall will be a place for honest writing about:

• Living and working with Crohn’s disease
• Public bathroom anxiety and social situations
• Fatigue, flares, and invisible symptoms
• Mental health alongside chronic illness
• The emotional cost of “functioning”

This isn’t medical advice.
It’s lived experience — what helped, what didn’t, and what I wish I’d heard sooner.

Why “Second Stall”

If you know, you know.

The second stall is about privacy.
About control.
About getting through the moment without being seen.

This site is meant to feel like that — a quiet place to breathe, reflect, and feel less alone.

What’s next

Posts are coming soon.

They’ll be specific, honest, and grounded in real life — not polished inspiration, not fear-mongering, and not pretending this is easy.

If you live with Crohn’s, IBD, or any invisible illness, I hope you’ll find something here that resonates.
