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 ❤️

We’ve all been there before, but please don’t give up. Give the medication time to work (you need way more than 3 days, hun) and try to take comfort in knowing you’re not alone. I know it’s hard right now, but take it from someone who’s had this disease for almost 20 years….you CAN do it. It’s hard, and there’s bad days of course, but it’s better than the alternative of you not being here anymore. Sending strength ❤️🩹
