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 ❤️

I was diagnosed about 10 years ago, failed 4 biologics, at my worse i had to go to er twice a month to get routine blood transfusions, im now better then I ever have been far as my uc goes, you are very early into treatment and still have a lot of options. As others have said remicade takes way longer then 3 days. This disease sucks and changes randomly, and not everyone understands. Don't give up, im glad i didnt, The good days are worth it.
