Kelly, I know inside that you will get your PhD, you will get it with honours and you'll be a great psychologist.

I don't know much about Crohn's, but I do know it's a way of Mother Nature saying that you need to look after yourself and structure your life so you have minimal stress. Your education might take you a bit longer, but you have what, about 40 years of working life when you finish your doctorate? A few more years taken to gain your degree means little in the long run of life.

Hugs to you - you're a wonderful person and deserve great things
