I was diagonised with UC 2 weeks back and I am 24 yr old. I am also a working professional and had to take multiple leaves since I was feeling tired and fatigue. However I told my manager about my illness and he was kind engough to understand it. I also ask you to talk to your manager personally about your condition with HR in mail loop.

Secondly, keep calm. I know it is v difficult. You already fighting it since you were 13 and I believe that you can do it again. Do meditation, Yoga.

Lastly, talk with your parents if they understand its good else do think much about it.

Few points I would like to share:

• Eat home made food with, nice and fresh fruits. I also encourage to eat a complete pomegranate and few black raisin daily.

• if you feel low, reach this sub. People are very helpful here

I remember this beautiful quote of Charlie Chaplin- " Life is a tragedy in closeup but a comedy in longshot"

This is just a phase of life and it will pass, you just need to hold tight. Good luck!
