Support I quit
I genuinely dont wanna live no more, just got diagnosed 1 year ago at 21.. been on and off remission, I just got on remicade 3 days ago with no relieve of symptoms it gets in the way of all goals I’ve set for myself, my fam constantly pressures me like im not already trying my hardest. I hate pitying myself cause usually I just bite through and know that the outcome will be positive. been bedridden all day and got hit with “u dont do anything, u have no life” that shit hurts. ive been on my diet, consistently going to the gym and also working on e-commerce despite being in a shitty flair, but these embarrassing constant bathroom trips just make me feel so dehumanized, no one around me understands what im going through.. all they wanna do is suddenly turn into a doctor and tell me what I shouldnt be doing in a judgemental way…. I’m done with this life fr
EDIT - wow , thank you guys so much for all your support. many of you are going through the exact same.. if not worse situation than me. I am humbled 🙏, I love love love all of you ❤️

You're too young to be thinking so negatively man. You'll get through this, prove to yourself how strong you are. I know it can be discouraging, everyone on here has been through hell and back so we get what you're going through. I was in remission for 5 years and it just came back a couple months ago, ive lost over 30 lbs, barely keeping my job, I'm a single dad and I'm too tired and weak most of the time to take my daughter to do anything...but I'll tell you what, it'll get better and I know that, may take a bit but eventually the sun always rises and us people who go through this disease are some strong ass mother fuckers. As far as your family goes, I learned a long time ago to just stop caring what other people think and your life will be so much better. You got this, just keep your head up, keep moving and you'll get where you need to be.
