My story
Why I started Brown Note
I live with Crohn's disease. Some days are manageable, but flare days can stop everything. I've spent too many hours in the bathroom feeling isolated and exhausted, wishing I could hear from someone who gets it.
Brown Note exists so none of us has to sit with that heaviness alone. It's a place to share a quick note, get encouragement, and remember we're more than the symptoms.
The promise
Compassion first, always.
Crohn's reality
The unpredictability, fatigue, and the social isolation that can come with it.
What helped me
Small check-ins and honest conversations with people who truly get it.
What I hope
That Brown Note becomes a soft landing place during hard days.
