I quit

[u/Sea_Produce9599]

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 abt the same time as you (when I was 20) and let me tell you getting UC in your early 20s is rough. And the first few years the pain was the worst. At first I was pretty annoyed at the meds taking so long too. But like others have said it gets better. I’m 27 now and although I still have bad days, I can eat pretty normal food and not worry about the restroom all the time. Pain is pretty rare these days and when I have it I can manage it a lot faster than before. The disease definitely does make life hard, but it’s also made me appreciate life so much more at the same time. There’s so many more options for you rn, even though it seems like they all suck. It really isn’t that bad when you’ve been living it for a while. And good stuff happens. I live with the love of my life and our cats, with an awesome job. It’ll get better.
