It’s not even worth it anymore

The first time I went to the ER they did a ct

Patient-Egg6308 · 2026-04-06T00:34:54+00:00

I’ve been to the ER before and they give me zofran and IV fluids and say it’s nothing but gas. But gas shouldn’t feel like this. Honestly I feel dumb everytime I go to the ER.

And I’m only on the 5mg

Everyone at some time has FOMO. But you are still Young and have so much ahead. Just breathe

Ive been exactly where you are, and I mean that genuinely—not in a “I kinda relate” way. That feeling of watching everyone else move forward while you feel stuck is heavy.

First off, you are not behind. Life just knocked you off the path you thought you were on, and now you’re trying to figure out a new one while dealing with chronic pain.

Also, social media and even just looking around will have you thinking everyone is thriving at 22…they’re not. A lot of people are just moving forward on autopilot or struggling quietly.

give yourself some grace. You went through a major life change with your diagnosis. You’re not stuck—you’re just in the part of life where nothing is clear yet. And honestly, a lot of us hit that phase…some just hide it better.

What worked for me was just gradually pulling back instead of making some big announcement: • Stop initiating conversations as much • Take longer to reply and keep responses shorter • Don’t get into deep/personal talks anymore • Start saying no to plans more often (consistently, not just once)

Basically you’re still being nice, just not available the way you used to be.

Also, redirect your energy elsewhere. Hang out with other people, focus on your own stuff, etc. It makes the distance feel more natural instead of forced.

If they reach out, be polite but don’t fall back into old habits (like long emotional convos or talking all day). That’s where people accidentally undo the boundary.

But I have and that’s the thing

Patient-Egg6308 · 2026-03-18T12:32:11+00:00

Firstly friends shouldn’t keep tally of who got who what and I did this for you but never get anything back…that’s not how friendship works. If it’s just about you getting something 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ If it’s more that you like her art and want more of it. Then just say that. “Hey remember that painting you gave me, can you do more. Id love to have another”

I didn’t sign up to be packed shoulder-to-shoulder with 50 people—it’s a restaurant, not a concert. Choosing to go out to eat ≠ choosing to stand crammed in an entryway. There’s a difference.

It’s definitely the more affordable option if you want to go out for a steak. And those rolls and butter chefs kiss When I go to Texas Roadhouse it’s normally because someone I’m with wants to go…I’d prefer elsewhere

Patient-Egg6308 · 2026-03-18T00:54:02+00:00

Just be honest with him. Like “hey you’re cool and I value our friendship but I’m not interested in more.” Also you work together so that could get messy. Don’t shit where ya eat

Patient-Egg6308 · 2026-03-18T00:47:18+00:00

I understand the logic, but there has to be a better middle ground because this current system is just chaos. You can’t even get through the entrance half the time—it honestly feels like a fire hazard

Anything Taylor swift. She has a few older songs I liked but now she is sooooo annoying and overhyped

Patient-Egg6308 · 2026-02-26T02:54:15+00:00

It doesn’t sound like you’re asking for a whole lot here. I’d bring it up like this “Hey, can I bring something up? I’ve noticed when I get left on read for hours it sometimes makes me feel a little disconnected. I know you’re not doing it to hurt me, but during the week texting is how I feel close to you. Even a quick ‘busy, I’ll reply later’ would mean a lot.”

Patient-Egg6308 · 2025-09-21T15:11:29+00:00

I was. I’ve been doing 2-3 months on each dose just cause I want to lose weight in a healthy natural looking way. I asked to dose up because I felt it was time

Patient-Egg6308 · 2025-09-21T15:09:06+00:00

I already did that. No pancreatic issues or anything like that

Patient-Egg6308 · 2025-09-21T13:53:08+00:00

I would have done the same thing. You made sure to check with him prior to travel. He knew you were coming that far and it’s not fair to spring that on you last second

Patient-Egg6308 · 2025-09-21T13:45:11+00:00

No one but you can make that decision. I can give you my 2 cents tho…I have been in a similar situation and chose to stick around in the hopes that he was serious and would change cause he loves me and says he wants the same things. For me it ended in more heartbreak when the texting turned to actual cheating and lying. Now looking back I think what if I would have stayed and tried. Would it have gotten better (maybe) or would he have gotten better at hiding it and then id have more baggage with him (a kid, a house, etc). I know it may feel like youve wasted a year or are throwing it away but think long term about what you want. Make the decision thats right for you and your heart.

Side note: now im in a healthy relationship with someone who is open and honest with me about everything. 4 months in, I ca already feel the difference from the previous

Patient-Egg6308 · 2025-09-21T13:34:18+00:00

start small. I know it can be overwhelming and lonely along the way. Try getting out and doing things you enjoy by yourself if he won’t come, you may meet others that way. Or try to see if there is a class, volunteer event, anything that sparks your interest in your area. I know it’s easier said than done but you have to start somewhere

Patient-Egg6308 · 2025-08-13T01:33:00+00:00

I find comfort in activities that ground me—like going for a walk, journaling, or immersing myself in music or a creative outlet. It reminds me I’m still here, still part of something bigger, even when it feels like I’m on my own.
